Downloaded the zip of git. Extracted it and compiled, flawless so to see. Then in the new bin dir the simplest of programms fails with:
```
…\nimony\bin>./nimony c hello.nim
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
FAILURE: git submodule update --init
```
(win11)

Where did it go wrong?

I'm not sure but why did you download the zip of the git? I think that one misses the .git directory.

because, blush, I never use git? So a bit of reading later, clone ... mmm, hidden file .git naughty naughty. All compiles well, didn't forget to add the import std/syncio. Then I didn't find the exe. its in the nimcache.

it works, cheers!
