Gitbash versus Command Prompt (Windows)

What is the difference between running commands on Gitbash (on windows) and the command prompt? I installed Gitbash on my Windows machine and using the mkdir function does not create a new directory (a folder that I can see).

in gitbash mingw64 for windows 10 when you are in c:, mkdir creates new directory without problems.

For do it, you can go to c: by typing cd /c/ and after, press enter key. When you are in C change to your work directory with CD command, and type mkdir yournewdirectoryname. It works for me.

Both set HOME properly (it is not set by default in Windows, as opposed to Unix/Linux).
And both add Git to the %PATH%.

They are package in Git For Windows (with a 64bits coming soon, with a more recent bash).
