However, in many Windows environments, the shell is shipped alongside Git, and it may or may not be in PATH, even if Git is. In such an environment, it can be very helpful to query Git for the shell it's using, since other tools may want to use the same shell as well. To help them out, let's add a variable, GIT_SHELL_PATH, that points to the location of the shell. On Unix, we know our shell must be executable to be functional, so assume that the distributor has correctly configured their environment, and use that as a basic test. On Git for Windows, we know that our shell will be one of a few fixed values, all of which end in "sh" (such as "bash"). This seems like it might be a nice test on Unix as well, since it is customary for all shells to end in "sh", but there probably exist such systems that don't have such a configuration, so be careful here not to break them.
