Improve navigation with nnn

[jarun]

Terminal manager nnn has a Cygwin port: https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/nnn.html
Is there a easy way to integrate it within git bash?

If not, would it be possible to package it as a navigation utility within git-bash?

The purpose of Git for Windows is really to bring Git to Windows.

While that implies that we have to ship quite a few Unix-like tools, it does not mean that we will include such tools unless they are needed for Git's own operations, or at least for historical reasons (needs of active contributors are sometimes a factor in deciding whether to include a tool or not).

Having said that, what you really are looking for is MSYS2. Git for Windows leverages MSYS2 and ships with a subset of its files. MSYS2 even sports a package management system called "pacman" to install more tools (including Git...), so why don't you give it a whirl?

Thanks for the insight.
I copied nnn.exe from MSYS2 environment to git-bash and it works out of the box.
