About

MinGit is a minimal, lightweight version of Git for Windows that includes only the core Git command-line tools.

It's designed for automated environments, CI/CD pipelines, and users who need basic Git functionality without the full Git for Windows package, which includes Git Bash, GUI tools, and other utilities.

MinGit offers a smaller footprint and can be used portably without installation.

Security

No known CVEs for MinGit.

Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.

Frequently asked questions

How do I install MinGit silently for unattended deployment?
Add --silent and accept the agreements upfront: winget install --id Git.MinGit --exact 2.55.0.5 --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements. This is the variant Intune, Configuration Manager, and other deployment tools should use.
How do I uninstall MinGit via winget?
