It doesn't make you *use* git, if that helps, but uses it to download stuff from github etc. You could try just manually downloading vcpkg and see if it's smart enough to download its own internal git.exe (like it does for python, cmake, etc.). But that's a bit off label I guess.

I was curious so I tried it in windows sandbox. Seems to work (didn't wait for build to finish). Downloads a portable git for its own internal tools folder:pic.twitter.com/J9vLQ7yExq

Ugh, sorry that didn't work. It's been 100% solid for me (and I too hate how annoying third party libs is on windows). It would be good if you filed a bug though.

Maybe there's something in your ENV or that folder due to previous LLVM wrangling that's tripping it up that I wouldn't have on my machine

If you want and could IM you a zip of the built artifacts (libs, includes), but that's obviously not the most scalable/reasonable system long term.

I think I finally have it compiling, now I get to do the fun time of "guess which library this function moved to in version 11". Their 'Kaleidoscope' "simple" language frontend links 200 libraries ... !!!!
