Atom command not working in terminal

I'm trying to open atom in my current folder but I keep getting this error message:

-bash: /cygdrive/c/Users/username/AppData/Local/atom/bin/atom: /bin/sh: 
bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Before that I got this error message:

-bash: /cygdrive/c/Users/username/AppData/Local/atom/bin/atom: /bin/sh^M:
bad interpreter: No such file or directory

I used the dos2unix command to try and fix it and ended up with the error message mentioned first.

I'm running cygwin on Windows 10.

Run Atom by clicking on the Atom icon. Once Atom opens, click on the Atom menu and there is a command that says: Install Shell Commands. After you do that you can just type Atom in the terminal and it will launch Atom.
