      Easy access to find, grep, sed, awk… on Windows. They will be handy for doing things in copies of Git repos sitting on my Windows10 laptop. Windows "features" for searching for strings in files and manipulating stuff are crap.

      As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

        Isn't that already possible with the Git Bash shell?

          That or cygwin, msys, etc…

          The windows command prompt "terminal" itself sucks most though. Cygwin with mintty is much, much, much better to deal with than a standard cmd.exe window that has better commands...
