What would be the advantage of the zsh on Windows when compared to the PowerShell?

In my opinion:

  • zsh (and bash) support for git is much better than in Powershell

ZSH

  • In my daily work, I'm using Azure CLI, and I feel that user experience is much better because Powershell threats everything as an object and that could be problematic in some cases

  • Last but not the least, at home, I'm working on Ubuntu so that I can use some scripts in both environments (Windows/Linux)

So, for me, it's more comfortable. But I'm not an oracle ;)

If you're after Git, there's posh-git to save you. Still much less overhead than a complete Linux distribution.

I agree.

OK, this is relevant because it does make a difference. :-) I understand.

I didn't know posh-git before. Thanks for sharing it.

Cheers

I also love Zsh. Of course, the only reason I would use Bash over ZSH is the '/dev/tcp' and '/dev/udp' capabilities.
