Best solution in my opinion:

My solution:

  • Download and install .git for Windows

  • Right click desktop and say "git bash here"

  • Execute your script like in unix

  • Done!

Caution: Many commands won’t work on windows! But still, a lot of the basic stuff will work.

If you need that script regularly you may want to create a shortcut (on your desktop e.g.):

  • Create a Shortcut to mintty.exe on your desktop

  • Edit properties of the shortcut and change the target (keep the path):

  • C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\mintty.exe" -h always /bin/bash -l -e 'D:\folder\script.sh'
