This is a duplicate of #1960 but since I can't post on it I created new ticket.

Description of the issue

When visiting download page, the full version says - with Git for Windows while mini mentions nothing.
So I assumed Full is just Mini+Git for Windows.

Then I see in the Git and others section:

Oooh yes! If you decide to use the slightly bigger git-for-windows version, you will have all Unix commands ready in PATH so that you can git init or cat instantly on every machine.

The words slightly bigger adds to the doubt whether Full version only has Git as extra item. After all, ~121MB is not just slightly bigger than ~10.0MB.

I would suggest adding at least a line near the two download buttons stating clearly "Full version is just Mini version+Git for Windows". And also the remove the word slightly from the Git and others section.

The only diff between mini and full is Git for Windows and I think the docs are pretty clear on that fact.

@Anutrix Good suggestion, although this is related to the website repo and is a remnant of when the full version actually was slightly bigger. The comparison was also made between the higher compression 7-zip file and the mini zip file.

I believe we could benefit from a more clear and concise description for the differences between the Full version and Mini version on the website.

@Anutrix 'Cmder - Full' is EXACTLY what the website says. It is 'Cmder Mini + Git for Windows'.

In addition to git Git for Windows happens to ALSO include a relatively full set of Unix like tools found on BSD, Linux and Unix, and it alone adds ~121 MB to the 'Cmder -Full' archive.

For me at this moment on the website (https://cmder.app/) I can't find the phrase 'Cmder Mini + Git for Windows'. I see "Download Full" and "(with Git for Windows)". To me 'with' implies there may be other differences as well, it's one of a possible set.

My reading and search path trying to answer this question before tagging on to this issue was: Website >> Repo Readme >> Wiki >> Discussion (ref) >> here.
