In addition to the POSIX system, Cygwin includes a Package manager that connects to a repository with 9000+ software packages. Users can optionally use Cygwin ports repository which includes >2300 (86x64) to >2700 (86x32) additional software packages not included in the RedHat-hosted repository, including many GUI applications.

The repository contains a wide range of software, including BASH (command shell and scripting environment comparable to the Windows Powershell), the GNU compilier collection (gcc) with the complete tool chain. In addition, the 'usual and customary' programming languages installed with a Linux distribution, including C, C++, Python, PHP, Perl, Tcl/Tk, and Lua are available, along with multiple development libraries.

In addition to BASH, the GNU Utilities (e.g. Find utilities, such as Locate, Find, Grep) are installed by default. Hundreds of other software packages are included, many with non-POSIX Windows implementation, such as database management systems (PostgreSQL, MySQL), web servers (e.g. Apache httpd), firewalls, text processing utilities and console mode applications. In addition, there is a (reasonably stable) X.org/X11 implementation with GTK and Qt libraries. Based on these, graphic desktop managers, including GNOME, LXDE, LXQt, KDE and others (e.g. x2go) with associated graphic user applications with variable stability and functionality.
