What if I work in Bash instead of PowerShell?

Can't fault you for that. But I'd call you bleeding edge.

BASH via CygWin on Windows is like 20 years old.

I was throw with the release of the BASH shell in 10, my b.

That's BASH on a Linux pseudo-VM running on top of Windows, not BASH on Windows itself. It's useless. Only working BASH is in Cygwin.

We had a discussion about this on SW

Well, didn't I just open a can of worms before unintentionally disappearing (friends computer needed some care last night.)

I only Bash my Linux boxes... just saying.
