Add all bins executable files to your evironment as below:

Now you can run bash in your powershell or CMD

Compiling File to Exe:

First edit the code file, lets call it test.cpp with following codes:

    #include<iostream> 
 
    using namespace std; 
    int main() 
    { 
            cout<<" this is a print test"; 
            return 0; 
    }

Now lets compile the file using g++, and output test.exe file. Notice the complier is g++ not gcc, and output file should be exe suffix.

g++ test.cpp -o test.exe

The following options show how to do it in both cmd or cygwin. Print is correctly done.
