Does anyone knows if and how I can install zsh on windows with git bash?


Try installing Cygwin with the zsh and git packages. From there, you can install oh-my-zsh etc very easily.

Cygwin is effectively a UNIX environment on your Windows machine, with support for many programs. A big draw is that it uses a UNIX folder structure /usr/, /etc/ and so on.

Git Bash, as I understand it, is just a bash prompt and basic tools (cd, ls and the like). You will probably have a hard time installing other programs. Don't take my word for it though!
