Disclaimer, haven't used Windows in years, but back in the day when I did, I swore by cygwin to give me a sane environment to interact in. That and Firefox + GIMP + Libreoffice usually gave me a pretty happy day to day interaction.
Nowadays I would swap out cygwin for WSL; the latter gives you a full Linux environment.
Git Bash also works quite well without WSL (but I think it just uses Cygwin under the hood)
Bash also has a native Windows port these days, but it is far from a full posix environment.
