   Traditionally MSYS bash has been inferior, but mostly because Cygwin remained under active development whereas MSYS didn't. MSYS forked from Cygwin version 1.3.3 and never re-synced, whereas MSYS2 resyncs with the Cygwin project regularly. We don't have a "sweet pacman like package manager", we have as direct a re-compilation of Arch Linux's ...

   Other than that, it can help you get familiar with Linux and working with the command line (which is very important for any computer engineer!) i've had problems with MSYS2 before. haven't tried cygwin, so no comment on that one. MINGW seems to be a stable choice to make for gcc.

   Git is version control software and isn't used to compile. Cygwin, creates a makeshift unix environment to build unix style programs on windows. Within it you can install tools to compile things. Msys2, is similar to cygwin, in that it's an environment, but the programs made within it are more native windows programs than cygwin.

The purpose of the project is to provide a Unix-like environment (represented by GNU tools) running on a Windows platform.

   What's the difference between MSYS2 and Cygwin?

   • Msys2, is similar to cygwin, in that it's an environment, but the programs made within it are more native windows programs than cygwin. Once it's installed you also need to install tools to compile things with the mingw tools. It'd probably be easier to help if you said what you're trying to do.

   What is the difference between Cygwin and MSYS/MinGW?

   • The fundamental technical difference is that all cygwin programs depend on the cygwin1.dll; but that's at the same time the least interesting one for the end user since it should be almost completely transparent. The main differences I found are not between the git versions as much as between the cygwin environment and msys/mingw environment.

   • Both Cygwin and Msys Git work fairly well for normal use-cases. If you want to use scripts such as git-svn, Cygwin is a better bet. As an old Windows users who finally jumped ship to Linux, I can definitely say that Cygwin is a great boon and worth having in and of itself.

   Does msysgit work with Cygwin?

   • Msysgit is here to stay, and unless you need to add a few hundreds of MB for cygwin, you really don't need Cygwin to just use Git on Windows. And if you want to access GitHub, you get one package ("Git for Windows" + ssh keys registered for you on your GitHub account + a nice GUI) with GitHub for windows. Both Git and msysgit are on GitHub.
