Microsoft made win dev tolerable by including Linux. To properly work with git I installed gitbash -- that is essentially Linux in a box, complete with git, ssh and the basic bash tools like cat. To do more complicated things, you can install WSL, which is literally a virtual machine running Linux, well integrated with the Windows system. The problem of course is that well-integrated is not the same as native, but MS does have some of the best languages available, C# is pretty great.
