Trivia:

Windows also has %PATHEXT%. It's a set of executable extensions like bat, exe, com, cmd.

It is what allows calling `program` and reaching `program.exe`.

hmm, I agree, this is pretty hard-coded. It should work for a default installation of git-bash, but of course, the user could have chosen a different location at install time.

I'm not even sure how popular git bash is on Windows, I vaguely remember cygwin might be something many user that care to use a terminal might have installed?

Also not very platform independent
