+# Polis CLI on Windows
+
+Polis CLI can run on Windows using **Git Bash** (included with Git for Windows). This provides a bash-compatible environment with minimal setup.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+1. **Git for Windows** (includes Git Bash)
+   - Download: https://git-scm.com/download/win
+   - Or install via: `winget install Git.Git`
+
+2. **jq** (JSON processor)
+   - Install via: `winget install jqlang.jq`
+   - Or: `choco install jq`
+   - Or: `scoop install jq`
+
+3. **pandoc** (for `polis render` command)
+   - Install via: `winget install JohnMacFarlane.Pandoc`
+   - Or: `choco install pandoc`
+   - Or: `scoop install pandoc`
+
+### Automated Setup
+
+Use the provided setup script:
+
+```powershell
+.\scripts\setup-windows.ps1
+```
+
+This script will:
+- Verify Git Bash is installed
+- Install missing dependencies (jq, pandoc)
+- Configure Git Bash PATH
+- Set up polis-cli for use
+
+### Manual Setup
+
+1. **Clone polis-cli**:
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/vdibart/polis-cli.git
+   cd polis-cli
+   ```
+
+2. **Add to Git Bash PATH**:
+   
+   Edit `~/.bashrc` (or create it) and add:
+   ```bash
+   # Polis CLI
+   export PATH="$PATH:/c/path/to/polis-cli/bin"
+   
+   # jq (if installed via winget)
+   export PATH="$PATH:/c/Users/$USER/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WinGet/Packages/jqlang.jq_*/"
+   
+   # pandoc (if installed via winget)
+   export PATH="$PATH:/c/Program Files/Pandoc"
+   ```
+   
+   Replace `/c/path/to/polis-cli/bin` with your actual path (use forward slashes, convert drive letters: `D:\` → `/d/`)
+
+3. **Reload Git Bash**:
+   ```bash
+   source ~/.bashrc
+   ```
+
+4. **Test installation**:
+   ```bash
+   polis --help
+   jq --version
+   pandoc --version
+   ```
+
+## Usage
+
+All polis commands work the same in Git Bash:
+
+```bash
+# Initialize a site
+polis init --site-title "My Site"
+
+# Create a post
+polis post my-post.md
+
+# Render HTML
+polis render
+
+# All other commands work normally
+polis comment https://example.com/post.md
+polis follow https://example.com
+```
+
+## Path Conversion
+
+When working with Windows paths in Git Bash:
+
+- **Windows path**: `D:\Studio13\online\polis-cli`
+- **Git Bash path**: `/d/Studio13/online/polis-cli`
+
+Git Bash automatically converts paths, but when configuring PATH in `.bashrc`, use Unix-style paths.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "polis: command not found"
+
+- Make sure `polis-cli/bin` is in your PATH
+- Reload Git Bash: `source ~/.bashrc`
+- Or restart Git Bash completely
+
+### "jq: command not found"
+
+- Install jq (see Prerequisites above)
+- Add jq to Git Bash PATH in `~/.bashrc`
+- Find jq location: `where.exe jq` (in PowerShell)
+- Convert to Git Bash path format
+
+### "pandoc is required for rendering"
+
+- Install pandoc (see Prerequisites above)
+- Add pandoc to Git Bash PATH in `~/.bashrc`
+- Default location: `/c/Program Files/Pandoc`
+
+### Path Issues
+
+If you encounter path-related errors:
+
+1. Use forward slashes in `.bashrc` PATH entries
+2. Convert drive letters: `C:\` → `/c/`, `D:\` → `/d/`
+3. Use quotes if paths contain spaces: `"/c/Program Files/Pandoc"`
+
+## Alternative: WSL2
+
+For a fully Linux-compatible environment, you can use WSL2:
+
+```powershell
+# Install WSL2
+wsl --install
+
+# In WSL2 Ubuntu terminal
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install openssh-client jq curl pandoc git
+
+# Clone and use polis-cli
+git clone https://github.com/vdibart/polis-cli.git
+export PATH="$PATH:$(pwd)/polis-cli/bin"
+```
+
+WSL2 provides 100% compatibility but requires WSL2 setup.
