How to add wget command into Git Bash

I installed git for windows on my Windows 10. Most of the time I use the Git Bash terminal window.

The Git Bash environment has a lot of Linux commands. I also use it as a Linux shell.

Today, I need wget command to download files from the Internet. Sadly, Git Bash doesn’t has it.

After googleing it, I found a  GNU Wget tool.

https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/

• Download the 1.20.3  64bit version zip file.
• Unzip it
• Copy the wget.exe file into C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin

C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin is my Git Bash tool path.

Now I can download files with wget command.

 

wget-1.20.3-win64

For example, I want to get the phpBB 3.3.2 installation package from the official website.

$ wget https://download.phpbb.com/pub/release/3.3/3.3.2/phpBB-3.3.2.zip
