Sort of an equivalent to the bad-ass terminal in Linux, when you install git on windows and you are used to using command line, one uses cmd to run git commands. There is not at all any difference when it comes to git commands when you use either of the above.
You don't need to use Git Bash. It is just conventional, because Git was developed and designed on Linux and most Git users use Linux and using Git Bash on Windows makes it a uniform experience. You can certainly use Git on cmd; just make sure you add C:\Program Files\git\cmd to your PATH .
This is a login shell for SSH accounts to provide restricted Git access. It permits execution only of server-side Git commands implementing the pull/push functionality, plus custom commands present in a subdirectory named git-shell-commands in the user's home directory.
