Git Bash
Git Bash is a command-line tool bundled with the Git for Windows installer, built on MSYS (a MinGW sub-project) to provide a lightweight POSIX-compatible environment on Windows. It integrates the Bash shell with common Unix/Linux command-line utilities, enabling Windows users to perform Git operations and execute shell scripts in a Unix-like manner. It is a standard tool for Windows developers engaged in version control and cross-platform development.
