- maccard 8mo ago> if you make your build scripts bash, they’re Linux only Git bash exists on windows and is perfectly usable.
- hu3 8mo agoIt's still much less dependable compared to something fully supported like Bun.
- maccard 8mo agoI’m no bash lover, but I’ve used git bash as my primary driver on windows for I don’t know many years. It has its quirks (like any tool) but I don’t think I’d say it’s less dependable. Anecdotally I’ve had way more issues with node on windows than I have with git bash and node is fully supported.

- dundarious 8mo agoYes, bash is the near-universal language for build scripts as long as git is the near-universal source control tool.
- throwa356262 8mo agoThat is an interesting point... but if I do development on windows it usually happens inside WSL :) Seriously, my number one windows shell is WSL. Distant second and third are cmd and powershell which I only use to diagnose WSL issue.
