This patch adds CI builds via GitHub Actions. While the underlying technology is at least _very_ similar to that of Azure Pipelines, GitHub Actions are much easier to set up than Azure Pipelines: - no need to install a GitHub App, - no need to set up an Azure DevOps account, - all you need to do is push to your fork on GitHub. Therefore, it makes a lot of sense for us to have a working GitHub Actions setup. While copy/editing `azure-pipelines.yml` into `.github/workflows/main.yml`, we also use the opportunity to accelerate the step that sets up a minimal subset of Git for Windows' SDK in the Windows-build job: - we now download a `.tar.xz` stored in Azure Blobs and extract it simultaneously by calling `curl` and piping the result to `tar`, - decompressing via `xz`, - all three utilities are installed together with Git for Windows At the same time, we also make use of the matrix build feature, which reduces the amount of repeated text by quite a bit. Also, we do away with the parts that try to mount a file share on which `prove` can store data between runs. It is just too complicated to set up, and most times the tree changes anyway, so there is little return on investment there.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
