You don't download shell scripts from github for windows. You download batch scripts and exes from random file hosting sites, and they don't even fix your problem.

tldr: batch is a scripting language, which interacts with the windows shell, so in that way it is a shell script.

sorry for being pedantic, hope this info is interesting for somebody anyway
