I've been using git-bash on Windows 7 a lot. I gather it is a wrapper of mingw. It has md5sum but not sha1sum. I'd like to install sha1sum but I can't figure out how.

When I try mingw-get, it says "command not found"

When I tried to download mingw-get from sourceforge, I only found an installer for the entire mingw program but not for mingw-get

So, can anyone help me with either getting sha1sum or getting mingw-get

mingw-get is available at

sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Installer/mingw-get

After you have that installed run

mingw-get install msys-coreutils

thanks for your response. I downloaded it and ran the installer. Unfortunately, this is the result: Welcome to Git (version 1.7.4-preview20110204) McGuiT1@ISTM-L-6328MJ1 ~ $ mingw-get install mysys-coreutils sh.exe": mingw-get: command not found – mcgyver5 Jan 29 at 23:55
You need to add mingw-get to your path wikipedia.org/wiki/PATH_%28variable%29 – Steven Penny Jan 30 at 1:25
