Building libgit2 for windows

[neel1996]

The primary git library was migrated from go-git to git2go from version 2.1.0. Git2go is a go binding for libgit2, so libgit2 must be built beforehand to even download the git2go package.

On Linux and Mac, this process will be a cakewalk but the same doesn't hold for windows. For windows it requires a few additional libraries and packages to setup libgit2.

Try the official docs to build for your platform. If you face any challenges, then use this discussion to seek guidance.

Gitconvex uses SSH for enabling authentication for operations such as clone, pull and fetch. This requires your system to have libssh2 available for using SSH enabled features
