For anyone who develops software on Windows (but needs quick access to a Linux terminal), here's a quick and easy way to get it with MSYS2.

Before starting, install "MSYS2" with default settings.

1. From Windows search, launch 'regedit.exe'
2. Navigate to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell"
3. Right-click on 'shell' and select New>Key. Call this key MSYS2.
4. Now right-click on 'MSYS2' and select New>Key. Call this key command
5. Select command and then double-click on (Default). Set 'Value data' to "C:\msys64\msys2_shell.cmd" "-here"

I did a little research and have found that GIT Bash uses MINGW compilation of GNU tools. 
It uses only selected ones.
You can install the whole distribution of the tools from https://www.msys2.org/ 
and run a command to install Tmux. And then copy some files to installation folder of Git. 
This is what you do:

Install before-mentioned msys2 package and run bash shell
Install tmux using the following command: pacman -S tmux
Go to msys2 directory, in my case it is C:\msys64\usr\bin
