You can use Git Bash

It depends on how advanced the scripts are, but simple scripts can be executed in Git Bash.

test.sh contains:

#!/bin/bash
echo Hello World!

Execute script:

./test.sh

Output:

Hello World!

Git Bash vs Cygwin

To answer your question:

@fedorqui in my learning 'cygwin' And 'gitbash' do same stuff for windows

Git Bash

Git Bash is lightweight and only aims to handle:

  • version control
  • a shell that runs commands

Cygwin

  • a large collection of GNU and Open Source tools which provide functionality similar to a Linux distribution on Windows.
  • a DLL (cygwin1.dll) which provides substantial POSIX API functionality.

Of course you can. There is a tool called cygwin that allows you to do so.

Note that you have to check what the paths are. If so, go to the path you are willing to work on and do pwd. This way, you will get the Windows\kind\of\path.

I use it all the time and it works pretty fine.
