```bash
curl -sSL http://git.io/git-extras-setup | sudo bash /dev/stdin
```
## Windows (use it at your own risk)
First, please install `Git for Windows 2.x` from 'https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases'
and the basic [msys2][1].
Second, clone the `git-extras` repo into any folder you like.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/tj/git-extras.git
```
After that, open the script `install.cmd` in the folder with any text editor you like.
Modify the `PREFIX` variable to where your `Git for Windows 2.x` is installed.
For example, I install it in the folder called `C:\SCM\PortableGit` and
the `PREFIX` should be `C:\SCM\PortableGit\mingw64` (for 64-bit release)
or `C:\SCM\PortableGit\mingw32` (for 32-bit release).
Third, execute the `install.cmd` directly or in the command prompt.
Last, please copy `colrm.exe` and `column.exe` from `folder-your-msys2-installed/usr/bin` to
`folder-your-git-installed/usr/bin`.
Enjoy `git-extras`!
