WP Cli will not execute on Windows

I have tried to install Wordpress CLI on my windows machine running windows 10. But for some reason everytime i try to run the

wp

Command it says

'sh' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.

I have tried multiple times to reinstall it and set it up from scratch with different guides but it just won't work.

This is what the bat file says

@ECHO OFF
SET BIN_TARGET=%~dp0/./wp-cli.phar
php %BIN_TARGET% %*

This is the environment variable i am using to point it to the bat file

That is where the .phar file and my .bat file are located to run the CLI.

All help is appreciated

Currently i have several process running in my CI/CD with wp-cli and all works fine in windows and unix. In my experience this is your best option in windows:

#1 Add PHP to your Windows Path Variable

#2 Install, as @Rup suggests, Git-bash terminal.

#3 Execute an wp-cli command like that:

vendor/bin/wp cache flush --path=public/wp-cms/wp-core

*This code consider you are using wp-cli managed with composer, and the files are locatted at vendor folder, otherwise you can replace vendor/bin/wp with wp
