If you're already in Windows land, you should consider leveraging PowerShell instead of bash. Pretty much all the same tooling is there, only with more descriptive names, tab completion on everything, passes typed object data instead of text parsing, etc.

Ahem... what is powershell core? (I take exception to your if condition). As someone on Arch- I enjoy it a lot.
