A console with bash will appear after all dependencies are automatically downloaded. It supports:

• Colors and cursor control (a full vt100 terminal).
• Packages
• Caching (it will not download dependencies next run).

Installing Packages

$ mingw-get --help # See usage
$ mingw-get list | grep PACKAGE_NAME # Search packages

How?

shunt uses the JSCript flavor of JavaScript, BAT scripting and a little bit of ActiveX to automatically download and setup a portable instance of msys, a lightweight POSIX compatibility layer.
