+## Windows (Git Bash)

+Local sync requires both drives accessible. Cloud sync works from either drive.
+
+### Install
+
+- Git for Windows: https://git-scm.com/download/win
+- just: `scoop install just` / `choco install just`
+- rclone: https://rclone.org/downloads/
+- unison: https://github.com/bcpierce00/unison/releases
+
+### Setup
+
+```bash
+rclone config
+# Edit justfile paths for your Windows setup (Git Bash uses /c/ for C:\)
+```
+
+### Use
+
+```bash
+just sync-cloud               # SOURCE → cloud
+just sync-cloud-from-target   # TARGET → cloud
+```
