cap command not found [Cygwin + Capistrano]

I've installed ruby, rubygems and rails through Cygwin setup. Then I've installed a gem:
gem install capistrano --verbose

No problem here. But when I try to run cap command, Cygwin tells me:
cap: command not found

When I execute in ./bin/cap it works:
$ ./bin/cap Stage not set, please call something such as 'cap production deploy', where production is a stage you have defined.

Here is my gem environment:
$ gem environment RubyGems Environment: - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 2.4.1 - RUBY VERSION: 2.0.0 (2014-11-13 patchlevel 598) [i386-cygwin] - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /home/Moretti/.gem/ruby - RUBY EXECUTABLE: /usr/bin/ruby.exe - EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: /home/Moretti/bin - SPEC CACHE DIRECTORY: /home/Moretti/.gem/specs - SYSTEM CONFIGURATION DIRECTORY: /etc - RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS: - ruby - x86-cygwin - GEM PATHS: - /home/Moretti/.gem/ruby - /usr/share/gems - /usr/local/share/gems - GEM CONFIGURATION: - :update_sources => true - :verbose => true - :backtrace => false - :bulk_threshold => 1000 - REMOTE SOURCES: - https://rubygems.org/ - SHELL PATH: - /usr/local/bin - /usr/bin - /cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Intel/iCLS Client - /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Intel/iCLS Client - /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32 - /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS - /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem - /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0 - /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Intel/Intel(R) Management Engine Components/DAL - /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Intel/Intel(R) Management Engine Components/IPT - /cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Intel/Intel(R) Management Engine Componen ts/DAL - /cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Intel/Intel(R) Management Engine Componen ts/IPT - /usr/bin

The EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY is correct, but the binaries aren't working outside the ~/bin/.

What can I do?

I created a cap file in /usr/local/bin/ and made it executable.

$ cat /usr/local/bin/cap
#!/bin/bash
ruby ~/.gem/ruby/gems/capistrano-3.3.5/bin/cap "$@"

Location of capistrano gem files can be found using gem which capistrano.

I personally do not know if this is the best way of doing it, but I've just set it up yesterday and have managed to get it working for my usecase
