Abstract: This note revisits recent results regarding the geometry and moduli of solutions of the heterotic string on manifolds $Y$ with a $G_2$ structure. In particular, such heterotic $G_2$ systems can be rephrased in terms of a differential $checkcalD$ acting on a complex $checkOmeg{a}^{\ast }(Y,calQ)$, where $calQ=T^{\ast }YoplusmEnd(TY)oplusmEnd(V)$ and $checkcalD$ is an appropriate projection of an exterior covariant derivative $calD$ which satisfies an instanton condition. The infinitesimal moduli are further parametrised by the first cohomology $H_{checkcalD}^1(Y,calQ)$. We proceed to restrict this system to manifolds $X$ with an $SU(3)$ structure corresponding to supersymmetric compactifications to four dimensional Minkowski space, often referred to as Strominger--Hull solutions. In doing so, we derive a new result: the Strominger-Hull system is equivalent to a particular holomorphic Yang-Mills covariant derivative on $calQver{t}_X=T^{\ast }XoplusmEnd(TX)oplusmEnd(V)$.
