What does bash do in Windows?
Bash on Windows is Microsoft’s solution to the problem and it aims to bring the entire Ubuntu userland, minus the Linux kernel to Windows. As a result, developers have access to the complete set of Ubuntu CLI tools and utilities. In layman’s terms, it’s akin to running Linux in Windows, natively.
