Unfortunately, it hasn=E2=80=99t been working. I=E2=80=99m not sure if this=
 is a zsh issue
or if Microsoft=E2=80=99s subsystem for Ubuntu is just acting up. I found t=
his
issue on the oh-my-zsh repo:

https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/issues/4984

I=E2=80=99m not sure if that helps at all. I was getting the same error.

I=E2=80=99ll take a look at MSYS! As for =E2=80=9CUbuntu on Windows=E2=80=
=9D I have a feeling the
future is looking bright!

Let me know what you think.

Cheers,

Tyler
