Hi

Thank you for your response and help. I am new to Git.

Not a problem, but what you describe is not using git but rather a shell called bash. Bash is like cmd.exe or powershell.exe, it is not GIT. See http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html 

The reason for my question is that I am using Git or Bash.exe  (cURl)
to call a REST web service (open for test) and retrieving  Json
from the web service and storing it into file.
This works fine from the Git Bash command line . My Git Command:

Not a git command, that is a curl command. See https://curl.haxx.se/

$ curl https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts -o c:\temper.txt

I will look into the smudge filter.

You could search for "convert json to xml in LANGUAGE" where language is one you are familiar with. E.g. http://google.com/search?q=convert+json+to+xml+Java

One more question is there a possibility to call Git Bash with a
parameter like example
C:\Git\Git\git-bash.exe  curl
https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts -o c:\temper.txt

The reason I am asking this is that I am using NAV 2009 Classic Client
and want to lunch the Git Bash with
 the command  $ curl 
https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts -o c:\temper.txt

Again you are using Bash that came with a windows build of Git, just like when the Visual Studio shell gets installed. A place like https://stackoverflow.com/ may be a better resource than this mailing list about GIT.

v/r,

Jason Pyeron

git is a version control system, which is mostly content 

agnostic. It

nothing about json or xml, let alone how to convert them.

You might want to use some kind of programming language to do the
conversion.
