Installing extra packages into a git-for-Windows MinGW installation

0

For most Windows computers I use, I install git for Windows (from https://git-scm.com/downloads) to get a basic set of useful command line tools that I am familiar with from the Linux world (apart from git, it includes bash, sed, awk, find, grep etc.). The tools are based on MinGW.

There are a few tools that I miss. For instance Git for Windows includes unzip, but zip is not included.

Is there a way to install extra MinGW packages/tools into a git-for-windows MinGW installation?
