Please check
http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/windows/emacs-28/
These Windows binaries were build with MSYS2 but don't need MSYS to run.
Please read nt/README{.W64} and nt/INSTALL{.W64} for further

As far as I understand, Git Bash is based on MSYS2. (I'm now using
exclusively the MSYS2 shell, instead of the Git Bash shell..:-))
