For most Windows computers I use, I install git for Windows (from ) to get a basic set of useful command line tools that I am familiar with from the Linux world (apart from git, it includes bash, sed, awk, find, grep etc.). The tools are based on MinGW.
There are a few tools that I miss. For instance Git for Windows includes unzip, but zip is not included.
Is there a way to install extra MinGW packages/tools into a git-for-windows MinGW installation?
