if you downloaded and used that ps1 file, that indicate that you were following the 'lode' ways of setting up a build environment (a good thing.. but I'm partial :-) ). step 2 of this process _is_ to download the lode.git repo.. so you should really already have it. And yes core.git is all you need to build the product ( although depending on the build option you may get dictionaries.git, help.git and/or translation.git as git submodule). lode.git is a separate 'tools' developed originally to help deploying ci slavebot. lode help among other thing 'manage' core.git using a local bare mirror clone --reference to deply build environment cheaply. it could not live in core.git again due to a chicken and egg problem. and as you can see here: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/admin/projects/ we do have quite a few auxiliary git repo under management :-) >I was told (on irc) by mst that our web server content is not in git (which in >my mind seems wrong) most of it is not, for good reason.. git is not the best way to manage a bunch of fat tar.gz source release of all the external dependencies we use. I've put that particular script _there_ as a convenience (convenient to me as that web server already existed and server plain file), but really the cygwin_install scrip is completely unrelated to the rest of the content there.
