Thank you for your post. But I would like to point out that gnuwin32 is a very old project and that there are good alternatives today. Since you can call commands from other CLIs from the GIT Bash, I suggest doing the same. Don't rely on old libraries.

You can use the CMD example already mentioned. My point is that the possibilities are not limited to CMD. You can also use powershell commands in GIT Bash instead. This is far more powerful.

powershell tree

In general i recommend the use of the Microsoft Windows Terminal.

The purpose of GIT Bash is not to emulate a Linux environment, but simply to use GIT. I hope it helps someone.

Cheers.
