| Git also ships bash for windows and doesn't require WSL. Can be even set as a default shell for OpenSSH so you can just ssh into windows bash... |

The software was primarily used on Unix (most of us used SGI boxes) but there was also a Windows port for smaller jobs and laptop use and (at least the dev environment) was all built on Cygwin. |
