bash script not completing and not throwing any errors

I just started a new project with postgres, Git bash, node and react. I installed postgres, git bash, started working in the back-end code and decided to handle sql scripts via bash script. I thought I configured everything correctly, system path for bash and postgres and a global configure npm run command. ideally npm run configure should drop the existing DB for the project, recreate it, create all the new tables, etc. but the script never finishes running at the point of dropping the database it just stops and it doesn't do anything else.

Important note: I'm working in a windows 10 environment.

troubleshooting done:

1. confirmed the environment variables for postgres and paths
2. made sure configure_db.sh was an executable file
3. made sure that the user node_user was a super user in postgres with sufficient permissions
4. ran the file by executing the file instead of the npm command
5. removed the drop/createdb commands from the script to see if at least I could create tables but it does the same thing, it runs the echo line and it stays there.
