Have you ever used a command prompt before? If not, please read a basic Bash tutorial like this one at linux.org.mt.

Yeah, the thing called msys simulates a Linux prompt on Windows.

The basic commands of Bash or any other Bourne shell are the same whether you are running it on Linux, on *BSD, or on Windows+MSYS. The first ones you should know are as follows: - ls - lists the files and folders inside the current folder (abbreviation for "list")
- dir - synonym for ls in some environments
- cd nameOfFolder - enters a folder (abbreviation for "change directory")
- cd .. - enters the folder above the folder you're in
- pwd - prints the path of the folder you're in (abbreviation for "print working directory")
- exit - closes the command prompt
When developing software, you will need a few more: - touch nameOfFile - creates a file if it does not already exist
- make - processes rules in a file called "makefile" in the current folder to create a file based on other files, such as an executable program based on source code
