MSYS2 ships with the pacman package manager. After you have followed the
instructions on the website, launch the MSYS2 shell from the MSYS2
folder and then this command installs everything you need to run gedit
into a filesystem tree inside your msys2 folder.

$ pacman -Syu --needed base-devel git
  mingw-w64-x86_64-binutils mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
  mingw-w64-x86_64-pkg-config mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk3
  mingw-w64-x86_64-gedit

gedit ships this filesystem tree from msys2 but removes some files
needed only for building. It is somewhat large but a third of gedit’s
size is due to shipping python.
