How would I run this in Git Bash?

I have not tried this on Windows Git Bash. Perhaps consider Windows Subsystem for Linux

Try:

$ (wget -O - pi.dk/3 || lynx -source pi.dk/3 || curl pi.dk/3/ || \
   fetch -o - http://pi.dk/3 ) > install.sh
$ sha1sum install.sh | grep 67bd7bc7dc20aff99eb8f1266574dadb

$ md5sum install.sh | grep b7a15cdbb07fb6e11b0338577bc1780f

$ bash install.sh

It should work in Microsoft Windows Git Bash, too.

Wget is not available on git bash so that command also fails

MINGW (and therefore git-bash) has wget available for install:

  • try running /c/MinGW/bin/mingw-get.exe in git bash and it should open the MinGW Installation Manager
  • scroll down to "msys-wget" and right click the one with Class "bin"
  • select "Mark for Installation"
  • on the top click "Installation"
  • select "Apply Changes"
  • click "Apply"
  • close the install manager, restart git-bash, and try running wget

It is unclear to me why @scotty6435 believes the command will fail just because wget is not installed:

(wget -O - pi.dk/3 || lynx -source pi.dk/3 || curl pi.dk/3/ || fetch -o - http://pi.dk/3 ) > install.sh

As long as you have just one of wget, lynx,curl, or fetch installed it should work just fine.
