- If you configure a default shell, ensure that OpenSSH installation path is in system PATH. If you want to configure default shell (Ex- cygwin).
- Installing and Updating Cygwin Packages Installing and Updating Cygwin for 64-bit versions of Windows. Run setup-x86_64.exe any time you want to update or install a Cygwin package for 64-bit windows.
I see some tutorials online but they only show how to install git onto Cygwin AS you are installing Cygwin. I already have cygwin installed and customized so I'd prefer not to repeat that step. How do I install the git framework so I can use it for github?
Thank you.

In the world of Cygwin, there is really no such thing as only installing a package AS you are installing Cygwin. Cygwin was inherently designed with a setup.exe to be run multiple times when necessary.
There are thousands of packages available in the Cygwin repo mirrors. From what you are saying, it sounds as if you had a single go-round with the setup file and then planned to never install any additional available packages or upgrade them in the future. This is what the Cygwin setup file is specifically used for.
If you don't currently have Git installed in your particular Cygwin environment, just run setup.exe again and select the package. It should automatically detect your current installation directory and package directory and previously-selected mirror. When you mark the Git package for installation, it will automatically download all dependencies, just like apt-get or any other *NIX package manager.
There is also an abandoned project called
apt-cyg
that I still use religiously, especially on remote systems over SSH in order to avoid the GUI setup.exe. apt-cyg
is basically a shell script that will install your package directly from the command line, apt-get
-style. It requires wget
and subversion
, but after the 30 seconds it takes to setup, you'd just run apt-cyg install git
. It also installs dependencies, just like the GUI setup.exe.There is also a similar alternative if you install Cygwin via Chocolatey package manager -- you can also install
cyg-get
(I believe it's called). The syntax is a bit different -- something like cyg-get git
. I don't really like this method, because it differs from apt-cyg in the fact that it actually uses the setup.exe and just automates the process so that you don't have to click anything. I don't use this method, because the last I checked, Chocolatey only supported 32-bit Cygwin installs, which is also what the cyg-get package looks for.apt-cyg
may be abandoned, but it has yet to disappoint, and if I know what I'm looking for, I always prefer it over running the setup.exe for package installation.It looks like the project has been picked back up and is under active development again: https://github.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg
Cygwin Install Modules
It appears this version requires lynx to install. I don't know. I still just use the original version on Google Code that worked just fine the last I checked: https://code.google.com/p/apt-cyg/

I installed the latest version of Cygwin with a number of packages.I soon realised that I need more packages (such as
wget
, etc) and I couldn't find a way to install the new packages without running the set up again and reinstall everything from scratch.What I'm looking for is the equivalent of apt-get on Cygwin (if such a thing exists).

There is no package management in Cygwin outside of the setup program. The setup only applies updates to your current installation, it does not overwrite packages that what you already have (unless you have explicitly said so).
So rerun the setup program to install new packages.

There is a package called apt-cyg that may be what you are looking for. It appears to be based upon apt-get.
apt-cyg is a command-line installer for Cygwin which cooperates with Cygwin Setup and uses the same repository. The syntax is similar to apt-get.
An example command would be
To install it you need wget, tar, gawk, and bzip2. You can download all these packages from the Cygwin packages list.

Re-run the setup program again. This is how you update Cygwin as well.

Cygwin Install
I find Chocolatey very useful for windows installations management (new, upgrade and removal), and cygwin is no exception!
I installed cygwin using Chocolatey, and since Chocolatey is installing using quiet/silent mode, you are not asked to select any packages and cygwin is installed with bare minimum packages :-(.
However, every time you wish to install a new package it is really-really, easy just use:
--source=cygwin
.For example, installing bash:choco install bash --source=cygwin

You need to install 'lynx' at first in a common way.Then open cygwin and write this:
lynx -source rawgit.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg/master/apt-cyg > apt-cyg
install apt-cyg /bin
Now you can use package manager
apt-cyg install
For more information see https://github.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg

I was stuck with the same issue while trying to use curl on Windows and just got it resolved. Posting it here, now cause it might help someone.
The best way is to just use cygwin's setup.exe and select additional packages that you need. Go here: http://www.cygwin.com/install.html
'When installing packages for the first time, setup*.exe does not install every package. Only the minimal base packages from the Cygwin distribution are installed by default. Clicking on categories and packages in the setup*.exe package installation screen will provide you with the ability to control what is installed or updated.'

You can use Babun which is built around Cygwin and includes the package manager
pact
. Yu gi oh the duelist of the roses ps2 iso converter.Babun supports installing new packages out of the box:
