+The Steps to Build Git with VS2015 or VS2017 from the command line.
+
+1. Install the "vcpkg" open source package manager and build essential
+   third-party libraries.  The steps for this have been captured in a
+   set of convenience scripts.  These can be run from a stock Command
+   Prompt or from an SDK bash window:
+
+   $ cd <repo_root>
+   $ ./compat/vcbuild/vcpkg_install.bat
+
+   The vcpkg tools and all of the third-party sources will be installed
+   in this folder:
+      <repo_root>/compat/vcbuild/vcpkg/
+
+   A file will be created with a set of Makefile macros pointing to a
+   unified "include", "lib", and "bin" directory (release and debug) for
+   all of the required packages.  This file will be included by the main
+   Makefile:
+      <repo_root>/compat/vcbuild/MSVC-DEFS-GEN
+
+2. OPTIONALLY copy the third-party *.dll and *.pdb files into the repo
+   root to make it easier to run and debug git.exe without having to
+   manipulate your PATH.  This is especially true for debug sessions in
+   Visual Studio.
+
+   Use ONE of the following forms which should match how you want to
+   compile git.exe.
+
+   $ ./compat/vcbuild/vcpkg_copy_dlls.bat debug
+   $ ./compat/vcbuild/vcpkg_copy_dlls.bat release
+
+3. Build git using MSVC from an SDK bash window using one of the
+   following commands:
+
+   $ make MSVC=1
+   $ make MSVC=1 DEBUG=1
+
+================================================================
+
+Alternatively, run `make vcxproj` and then load the generated `git.sln` in
+Visual Studio. The initial build will install the vcpkg system and build the
+dependencies automatically. This will take a while.
+
+Instead of generating the `git.sln` file yourself (which requires a full Git
+for Windows SDK), you may want to consider fetching the `vs/master` branch of
+https://github.com/git-for-windows/git instead (which is updated automatically
+via CI running `make vcxproj`). The `vs/master` branch does not require a Git
+for Windows to build, but you can run the test scripts in a regular Git Bash.
+
+Note that `make vcxproj` will automatically add and commit the generated `.sln`
+and `.vcxproj` files to the repo. This is necessary to allow building a
+fully-testable Git in Visual Studio, where a regular Git Bash can be used to
+run the test scripts (as opposed to a full Git for Windows SDK): a number of
+build targets, such as Git commands implemented as Unix shell scripts (where
+`@@SHELL_PATH@@` and other placeholders are interpolated) require a full-blown
+Git for Windows SDK (which is about 10x the size of a regular Git for Windows
+installation).
+
+If your plan is to open a Pull Request with Git for Windows, it is a good idea
+to drop this commit before submitting.
+
+================================================================
+The Steps of Build Git with VS2008
+
+1. You need the build environment, which contains the Git dependencies
+   to be able to compile, link and run Git with MSVC.
+
+   You can either use the binary repository:
+
+       WWW: http://repo.or.cz/w/msvcgit.git
+       Git: git clone git://repo.or.cz/msvcgit.git
+       Zip: http://repo.or.cz/w/msvcgit.git?a=snapshot;h=master;sf=zip
+
+   and call the setup_32bit_env.cmd batch script before compiling Git,
+   (see repo/package README for details), or the source repository:
+
+       WWW: http://repo.or.cz/w/gitbuild.git
+       Git: git clone git://repo.or.cz/gitbuild.git
+       Zip: (None, as it's a project with submodules)
+
+   and build the support libs as instructed in that repo/package.
+
+2. Ensure you have the msysgit environment in your path, so you have
+   GNU Make, bash and perl available.
+
+       WWW: http://repo.or.cz/w/msysgit.git
+       Git: git clone git://repo.or.cz/msysgit.git
+       Zip: http://repo.or.cz/w/msysgit.git?a=snapshot;h=master;sf=zip
+
+   This environment is also needed when you use the resulting
+   executables, since Git might need to run scripts which are part of
+   the git operations.
+
+3. Inside Git's directory run the command:
+       make command-list.h config-list.h
+   to generate the header file needed to compile git.
+
+4. Then either build Git with the GNU Make Makefile in the Git projects
+   root
+       make MSVC=1
+   or generate Visual Studio solution/projects (.sln/.vcproj) with the
+   command
+       perl contrib/buildsystems/generate -g Vcproj
+   and open and build the solution with the IDE
+       devenv git.sln /useenv
+   or build with the IDE build engine directly from the command line
+       devenv git.sln /useenv /build "Release|Win32"
+   The /useenv option is required, so Visual Studio picks up the
+   environment variables for the support libraries required to build
+   Git, which you set up in step 1.
+
+Done!

+@ECHO OFF
+REM ================================================================
+REM You can use either GCC (the default) or MSVC to build git
+REM using the GIT-SDK command line tools.
+REM        $ make
+REM        $ make MSVC=1
+REM
+REM GIT-SDK BASH windows inherit environment variables with all of
+REM the bin/lib/include paths for GCC.  It DOES NOT inherit values
+REM for the corresponding MSVC tools.
+REM
+REM During normal (non-git) Windows development, you launch one
+REM of the provided "developer command prompts" to set environment
+REM variables for the MSVC tools.
+REM
+REM Therefore, to allow MSVC command line builds of git from BASH
+REM and MAKE, we must blend these two different worlds.  This script
+REM attempts to do that.
+REM ================================================================
+REM This BAT file starts in a plain (non-developer) command prompt,
+REM searches for the "best" command prompt setup script, installs
+REM it into the current CMD process, and exports the various MSVC
+REM environment variables for use by MAKE.
+REM
+REM The output of this script should be written to a make "include
+REM file" and referenced by the top-level Makefile.
+REM
+REM See "config.mak.uname" (look for compat/vcbuild/MSVC-DEFS-GEN).
+REM ================================================================
+REM The provided command prompts are custom to each VS release and
+REM filled with lots of internal knowledge (such as Registry settings);
+REM even their names vary by release, so it is not appropriate for us
+REM to look inside them.  Rather, just run them in a subordinate
+REM process and extract the settings we need.
+REM ================================================================
+REM
+REM Current (VS2017 and beyond)
+REM -------------------
+REM Visual Studio 2017 introduced a new installation layout and
+REM support for side-by-side installation of multiple versions of
+REM VS2017.  Furthermore, these can all coexist with installations
+REM of previous versions of VS (which have a completely different
+REM layout on disk).
+REM
+REM VS2017 Update 2 introduced a "vswhere.exe" command:
+REM https://github.com/Microsoft/vswhere
+REM https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/heaths/2017/02/25/vswhere-available/
+REM https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2017/03/06/finding-the-visual-c-compiler-tools-in-visual-studio-2017/

+REM than "if exist <path>" because of script problems with pathnames
