What do developers using windows use as shell generally?
I admit I'm an experienced developer, but it has been about 20 years since I last developed in tandem with a windows environment. Anything and everything uses bash, and it is just there in macOS and Linux. Many things are orchestrated with sh scripts, all tutorials assume bash etc. So windows users use bash instead of CMD or Powershell as well right? What is the "canonical" way to use it in windows? Installing bash normally? Using WSL? Isn't WSL a virtual machine? I think that would be too much overhead for just having a bash console. Or do people use git bash for day to day use? What is the most common option?
