On Solaris, you can follow the instruction on opencsw or git-scm to install Git. On windows, you can download the install package from official page, but currently, git on Solaris is 2.x, on windows it's 1.x, maybe there're small differences between them, but I don't think it's a big deal.

Alternatively, on windows, you can install 3rd party git client, such as Tortoise Git or SourceTree.

Next, Windows-based users need to use the git repository on Solaris, so it's necessary to learn how to build a git server, you can refer to relative chapter in git book.
