    Hello Varma ,

    Thanks for reaching out in the Microsoft Q&A!

    To install Git silently on your target machine using PowerShell, replace C:\path\to\Git-2.39.0-64-bit.exe with the actual path to your downloaded installer and run this command:

    $installerPath = "C:\path\to\Git-2.39.0-64-bit.exe"  
# Run the installer in silent mode with specified installation directory
Start-Process -FilePath $installerPath -ArgumentList "/SILENT", "/NORESTART", "/DIR=C:\Program Files\Git" -Wait -NoNewWindow

    Please let me know if you have further questions.
