Sudo/Apt-Get Command Not Found in Git Bash

In Git for Windows Bash, how to install get-apt and sudo and all those basic commands?

Update

With WSL, It's now possible to run a complete Linux system, like Ubuntu, inside Windows. and one can install everything, including Node and Git there in the WSL Linux. Just like Sarah Cooley pointed in the other answer from her.

Pre-WSL Answer

If you want Node.js and npm on Windows, you can download them from nodejs.org, apt-get is for Linux (Debian based). Here's a guide.

And Git for Windows is a Windows based Git distribution, it's a separate project from Node.js, and it provides a limited set of linux-like CLI tools compiled natively for Windows.

If you setup PATH correctly, you can indeed run node commands in the Bash shell of Git for Windows.

Git Bash | bash: sudo: command not found (and others)

As stated by @tkausl, Git Bash does not come with such commands.

I've also found a similar post on Stack Overflow, the top answer stating the same.

sudo/conda/pip/PATH not found on Git Bash

You'll probably want to just run the regular windows installer (from the python site - https://www.python.org/downloads/) and then add the appropriate folder with the python and pip binaries to your $PATH system variable.

There are package managers like https://community.chocolatey.org/packages for windows, but as you can see they do not come as standard on windows.

Git Bash Command on Windows, yarn command not found

You probably just did not install yarn yet.
Have a look at the yarn installation for Windows here:

Command not found on GIT bash

That line should be a part of your Vagrantfile. You should not run that line in your terminal.

See here for an example of how I've used that line in my Vagrantfile.

How to add man and zip to git bash installation on Windows

2016: The zip command can be installed from GoW (Gnu On Windows). man is not provided (too big).

It is to note, however, that if you only want to add the zip command from GoW, still the whole GoW system has to be downloaded and installed. Then you can delete the other commands from the bin directory, however make sure to keep the needed dlls in the directory.

Update 2021: tar/zip are by default installed on Windows 10.
