Now, keep in mind that _MSYS2_ and Linux (The original target for _Git_'s distribution) are very different beasts. Their distributions might include packages that are built from the same source code (i.e. the `binutils`, `gcc` or `bash` package), but the runtime is very, very different: _MSYS2_'s runtime is a stripped-down, slightly modified _Cygwin_ runtime running on top of the Windows kernel, while Linux' runtime is the Linux kernel, running as a separate OS altogether.

So if you are missing some packages - feel free to start making one. This is Open Source, after all, so everybody interested and capable enough can contribute whatever they need to address their needs. And that includes you: you could imitate e.g. [a simple `PKGBUILD` file](https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/blob/HEAD/mingw-w64-assimp-git/PKGBUILD) to build a new package e.g. `msmtp`, the component that _Git for Windows_ 1.x uses to support `sendemail`. Then open a Pull Request so that _Git for Windows_ can ship it. Our documentation will be helpful in that endeavor: [package-management](https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/Package-management), in particular [package-management#rebuild-packages](https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/Package-management#rebuild-packages).

# Start documenting

If you need inspiration what you could write about: document your common work flows. Write a tutorial how to start coding _Git for Windows_, how to run the test suite. Write a tutorial how to debug a failing test. Write about something you would have wished you had known about Git for Windows a long time ago.
