One of the most critical elements of a shell script is that the source can be easily examined.

Bringing this into your system seems like a huge liability.

The syntax of shell scripts is terrible, but we write it to do simple things easily without needing more external tools.

git-bash on windows is generally good enough to do the kind of things most shell scripts do.

This tool feels like the worst of both worlds: bash syntax + external dependency.

Oh. I was just about to comment that it may be easier to understand what it does by decompiling the binary than by looking at the actual unreadable Bash language ;-)
