1. Install the latest version of Git for Windows
2. Create a new environment variable GIT_INSTALL_ROOT pointed at the installation folder of Git for Windows e.g. C:\Program Files\Git for the 64-bit flavor.
3. Open cmder and run git --version to confirm the latest version is installed.

If you want to keep it in cmder folder:

1. Rename C:\path\to\cmder\vendor\git-for-windows into C:\path\to\cmder\vendor\git-for-windows.old
2. Download the last portable version of Git for Windows with the last link on this page Git for Windows Portable ("thumbdrive edition")
3. Extract it in C:\path\to\cmder\vendor\git-for-windows

Kind of but not really. Cmder adds some configuration to the /etc/profile.d folder inside git-for-windows. To upgrade and maintain all functionality you need to add that configuration back to that location

Good point @daxgames thanks :)

Type git update-git-for-windows

Hi sorry for bumping again, is there anything like git update-git-for-windows but for portable version? AFAICT this install the full version of Git on the system, not in the cmder/vendor folder.

Delete vendor/git-for-windows, Download the portable version and expand it to vendor/git-for-windows.

@daxgames Thank you for your answer, I thought so, but I'am very lazy and hoped for a nice little command as this one ;)

There is another way but it's more effort.
