I am new to git and repo. I am in window 7 so I use cygwin. I have installed git from cygwin setup. After that I try to repo with the following command in cygwin. 

$ repo init-u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git

I get an error like these:

bash: repo: command not found

I think I need to setup cygwin for repo. What do I need next to get repo?

You still need to install repo. repo is a third party tool built on top of git. See: http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html for how to install
