Interestingly this worked for me, but omitting the < (stdin redirection) caused it to fail with pigz: skipping: .git/objects/12/2898... does not have compressed suffix

Add pigz info for Windows Git Bash users, add syntax highlighting for C code

@MarkAdler -z, --zlib Compress to zlib (.zz) instead of gzip format. As of now this flag is relevant for just compressing, not decompressing. pigz -d < "infile" > "outfile" works just fine.

This will not work. git blobs are zlib streams, not raw deflate. This solution works on raw deflate. puff does not process the zlib header and trailer. If you want a utility, you can use pigz, which will decompress the zlib format with the -dz option, as well as generate the zlib format with -z.
