I'm glad Microsoft uses Bash in the example, instead of their own Windows shells. As a user I would like having something like "Git Bash" for Windows built in the system, as default shell.

Just install Cygwin.

Not sure what you mean by “default shell”. The default shell on Windows is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_shell. I don’t suppose you mean booting into Bash. Windows doesn’t have any other notion of a default shell.

I used Cygwin for more than a decade. I prefer Git Bash (msys-based).
