	  "Git CMD" and "MINGW64" are different command line interfaces 
installed on my Windows 10 computer.  "Windows specifications say it's 
Windows 10 Pro version 21H1 installed 2020-9-30, OS build 19043.1348.


	  How can I get better descriptions of "Git CMD" and "MINGW64"?  I'm 
able to start them on my Windows 10 computer and see that they are 
similar but different and fail in different ways in this case.  Sadly, I 
don't know how to get the information required to be more specific.


	  Thanks,
