I would suggest you check out WSL (if you're running Win10, just install your favorite distro from the store).

Not only can you do operate your typical one-liners but if the package is basically command line driven you can just apt-get install it and go.

There is a remaining wart that I hit from time to time, if I have a git repo that I want to talk to both from the WSL window and from a Git Shell (Cygwin app), the line endings get tweaked. It can be managed but it is still annoying.
