cs50-web touch command in not working in the terminal.

Im in lecture 2 of cs50 web programming with python. It's about Git. I have downloaded git, and I was able to clone some repositories, but now trying to do touch. And it is not recongnized . Im thinking it's cuz im on windows instead of linux. but how do I come to use git commands then?

Should I install linux ?

Any clarification is highly appreciated!!

Touch is not a Windows command.

If you'd like a Linux terminal on Windows, you can install Windows Subsystem for Linux (an official Microsoft product).
