How to update git version in Git for Windows?

Question

git

The git-scm.com website offers a "Git for Windows" client with git version 1.9.5. How to upgrade to version 2.3.2?

Answer 1

The latest stable version for Windows (msysgit) is 1.9.5.
2.3.2 for Linux only.

Answer 2

Collect from sources. Only there is only git. And you are most likely using msysgit.

msysGit brings a few components that are required to build Git:
Bash, a Unix-type command-line shell. Quite a few components of Git itself are still shell scripts. Therefore, Bash is required to execute Git commands (see the output of cd /git && git ls-files \*.sh for a full list).
the GNU C Compiler. Since we try to rely only on free software (apart from the Operating System, of course), we think it makes more sense to rely on GCC than on Visual Studio express. Also, it makes the maintenance burden lighter, as upstream Git also targets mainly GCC.
GNUMake.
perl. Still required for a couple of Git components (see the output of cd /git && git ls-files \*.perl), most notably git svn.
Tcl/Tk, a scripting language making it easy to implement cross-platform graphical user interfaces. We need this for gitk and git gui.
cURL, a library implementing HTTP and FTP transport.
many more libraries.
some Unix programs required by the shell scripts in Git.
