I'm not sure we actually support building from the Windows Command Prompt. Building requires a whole bunch of things installed from msys2 so I think that environment might be the only way the current instructions work. I don't really do windows so I can't say for totally sure though. @jolan could you comment (and close the issue if I'm correct and we only support msys2 building)?
It's how it is mostly for consistency. Some steps need to be done through git-bash and others can be done with or without git-bash.
Whether or not I was supposed to use Command Prompt, I was still successfully able to build using the README instructions (slightly annoying because cmd had to be restarted after every step).
If some steps require git-bash I'd prefer a single path through (so only describe that build method) but since I don't use Windows my vote isn't worth much there and I'm cool with whatever the two of you agree on.
$GOPATH should read %GOPATH% if user is using Windows Command Prompt
