Can I use gcloud in Git Bash on Windows?

So, I've installed Git, Git Bash, Python2.7, and I've just installed the Google Cloud SDK per the official guide. Using Windows 10.

In cmd.exe, or the "Google Cloud SDK Shell", gcloud works fine.

Within Git Bash, however (the terminal that I prefer to use), gcloud returns the following output (screenshot).

enter image description here

echo $PATH in Git Bash does include the path to the Google SDK (highlighted here).

Am I missing something? Is there anything in $PATH that is possibly conflicting with gcloud, or did I misconfigure the path somehow?

I appreciate any insight.

UPDATE. Here is the output of env|grep PATH. I'm not sure what it tells me. Any other executable in the PATH is working (vagrant, conda, python, etc), but gcloud is not.

Another option - copying the gsutil and bq files from Linux version to /google-cloud-sdk/bin on Windows.

Put the following in a .bashrc file which should be located in C:\Users\YourWindowsAccount:

gcloud() {
    "gcloud.cmd" "$@"
}
export -f gcloud

Adapted from: https://askubuntu.com/a/98791

Restart Git Bash thereafter.

This solution is better than using aliases because it allows you to call gcloud from a shell script also.

Create ~/.bashrc with one and only line:

alias gcloud="gcloud.cmd"

and restart you shell session. That's it.

You need to use the full file name i.e. gcloud.sh or gcloud.cmd. See the following question for more details:

Git Bash doesn't see my PATH
