Git Update on Windows

Git Client Update

This is different than downloading or updating the Git Client, Git Server or Git 3rd Party tool (such as Ankh, TortoiseGit, TFS, GitLab, GitKraken, GLO, GitHub Desktop or VisualEyes). This is just for the core of git that many of those will rest upon. Often, those tools will rely on this foundation in order to run properly or for certain commands. Sometimes, some of the tools come with their own install bundled within the software to ensure compatibility and not rely on the local install and not have the private installed accessible outside of the tool. Rarely, the tool will update this foundation. I think GitHub Desktop did that at onepoint, but just checks to make sure a minimal version is installed instead now instead of running the full update, but will install if its not present or if the minimal version is not met.
