Bash on Windows 10? I never thought that this day would happen. I wanted to make a tutorial on Bash on Windows 10 for quite a while. March 30, 2016, Microsoft announced the anniversary update, which would bring a ton of features to Windows 10.

It seems that August 2, 2016, Microsoft will release the anniversary update that will contain Bash. Before August 2, we will need to get the Insider build for 14316.
