Step-by-step how to use rsync with git bash from Windows command prompt

how-to-win-rsync-from-cmd.md

Note: This works all except for the shell script part. Need to figure that out. You can do it interactively just not from the command prompt.

1. Install Git
2. Install Git Bash via Git Tortoise install
3. Added HOME=/c/Users/$USERNAME to C:\Program Files\Git\etc\profile
4. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32232978/change-the-location-of-the-directory-in-a-windows-install-of-git-bash
5. Download rsync.exe from https://repo.msys2.org/msys/x86_64/rsync-3.2.3-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst use 7-zip to decompress
6. See https://blog.tiger-workshop.com/add-rsync-to-git-bash-for-windows/
7. Put rsync.exe into C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin
8. Open Git Bash and create a key file using ssh-keygen
9. Create a shell script that copies the files
10. Example test.sh

eval $(ssh-agent -s)
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
rsync -avz Pictures/ root@targetmachine:/data/pictures/

1. Run the shell script from the command line
   1. "c:\Program Files\git\bin\sh.exe" -c "sh test.sh"

rsync --version
rsync: error while loading shared libraries: libxxhash.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

above issue is only in rsync version 3.4.1 & only in RHEL9, any help on it..
