Do you mean, more than e.g. bash compiled for Windows? I used that (msys?) bash for a few years on Windows and it was... well it was bash. It comes with standard Git for Windows install.
Or is there more to it?
- Derbasti 9y agoBash on Windows is like using a flightstick in a car. It sure works, but they weren't built for each other. Eshell is just Emacs, and Emacs doesn't make much of a difference between OSes. The point is, Emacs comes with a lot of tools that would normally be executables called by the shell (unavailable on Windows) and deals with paths in a consistent way. Besides, this was before git came with git bash on Windows.
