Am I missing something here?
It would seem obvious to me that Git and Raku are not linked in any way,
except of course for developers who only use Git with Raku, or who only
have a dependency on Git through zef.
It would therefore seem to me that a Raku / Zef distribution should NOT
bundle Git. Consequently, 'Git' is not "forgotten" and that is *should*
be installed independently.
In fact, since Github is now owned by Microsoft, it seems a little
strange to require 'zef' to include it in an installation.

Richard

Hi All,
Since the Raku Windows Installer forgets to install Git along
with Zef:

You have to install Git yourself:
https://git-for-windows.github.io/
Now here is a sweet feature of having Git installed.
It comes with all kind of nice Linux utilities, like ls,
tar, more, etc..
To get access to them:
--> <win><r> sysdm.cpl
--> Advanced (tab at the top)
--> Environmental Variables (button, lower right)
--> Path, Edit, add to the end
;C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin
I don't know about you guys, but every time I
want a directory listing in Windows, I type
`ls` and have to go back and change it to `dir`.
No longer!
