winget install --id=Microsoft.Git -eDescription
This is microsoft/git, a special Git distribution to support monorepo scenarios. If you are not working in a monorepo, you are likely searching for Git for Windows instead of this codebase. In addition to the Git command-line interface (CLI), microsoft/git includes the Scalar CLI to further enable working with extremely large repositories. Scalar is a tool to apply the latest recommendations and use the most advanced Git features.
Git is available through winget as package ID Microsoft.Git, with version 2.53.0.0.7. Use the install command above to set it up on Windows without downloading a separate installer manually.
