git, when installed on windows looks like the command line, but I'm thinking it isn't the command line. Also I'm thinking it doesn't do what the command line does, because it doesn't seem to behave like I would expect based on the console course...or am I missing it.

16,594 PointsThanks again John, kinda sounds like I didn't get something right on the install. I'll try it again. It just kept saying it didn't recognize my commands

16,594 PointsThank you John. So does that mean I should be able to use it just like it was my pc's console?

12,922 PointsIt depends on the options you chose during installation. If you see a blue background terminal, you're using a BASH-like command prompt. It supports utilities like grep, I believe. Otherwise, if you're just typing "git" from a normal command prompt, it's just that, a normal cmd window.
