With git

  • You can make changes to the code temporarily and you can checkout the changes later.
  • You don't have to redownload everything next time new flutter version releases. You can git pull (if on stable branch).
  • You can checkout to specific flutter versions.

With Windows:

  • You don't need git installed in your system.

In my opinion, having flutter sdk with git makes more sense. Using some version manager like fvm (https://fvm.app/) is even more efficient as it handles multiple framework versions as well as update flutter is much easy.
