The amount of times I have accidentally done this...
I’m honestly shocked no comment I’ve seen here has talked about ‘gnu on windows’ nor Windows Subsystem for Linux. I use both, because I prefer the windows environment but also like linux command lone.

Use gow, and WindTerm; and if you want an even better experience install lsd, fd, and lf all of which are downloadable via Chocolatey, the Windows package manager

How do you move machines and keep your configs?
