I installed Cmder by running the following in an Administrative PowerShell:

choco install cmder

This also installed Git for me. But it installed an older version of Git, not the latest that is listed on the git-scm.

The version of Git that got installed is 2.14.3.windows.1 but the latest as of today is 2.16.0.windows.

How do I tell Chocolatey to upgrade to the latest version of Git? Is that even possible when I did not explicitly install Git via Chocolatey?

I mean I could go and do it manually, but I then thought, what's the point of Chocolatey!

Any help would be appreciated.

AFAIK cmder embeds Git. So you can't update it with Chocolatey.

But cmder is only a bundle of portable software, so you may update Git in the vendor subfolder using portable package from https://git-scm.com/download/win

  • hmm, I'm thinking I should've downloaded Cmder without Git, and then install Git separately.

  • Actually you may download ConEmu separately
