Accessing postgres from windows bash
Install Postgresql for Windows (the actual .exe not Linux Bash)
Create User & Password for Postgresql (I use postgres & password for my local development)
Install `postgresql-client-common`, `postgresql-client`, `and libpq-dev` (In Bash)
Run a sanity check in Bash to verify that things are working `psql -p 5432 -h localhost -U postgres`
If you get a psql prompt you're good to go, now you can do what you need to do (my particular situation was to get Rails running)
If you have errors well then you may just need to peck away at things and double check that your Postgres server is running in Windows
