Git Bash confuse with Slash '/' when running bash script on Windows - windows

Question

How can I run bash script on git bash with slash '/' on Windows.
Here is my script file. I can run well on Ubuntu/Linux.
#!/bin/sh
KONG_ADMIN_HOST=localhost
KONG_ADMIN_PORT=8001
registerServiceRoute() {
printf "\nRegister %s service route\n" $1
curl -XPOST ${KONG_ADMIN_HOST}:${KONG_ADMIN_PORT}/services/$1/routes \
--data protocols=grpc \
--data name=$1-grpc \
--data paths=$2 -----> This line '/'is understood wrong in Git Bash Windows
printf "\n"
}
SERVICE_NAME=auth
SERVICE_PATH=/com.bht.saigonparking.api.grpc.auth.AuthService/ ----------> path with '/' here
registerServiceRoute ${SERVICE_NAME} ${SERVICE_PATH}
As soon as I run the script on Git Bash on Windows,
The console tell that Paths should start with /,
which means it confuse with / in the path. although / is already correct.
Here is the git bash Windows console output:
Register auth service route
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
100 248 100 143 100 105 674 495 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 1169{"message":"schema violation (paths.1: should start with: \/)","name":"schema violation","fields":{"paths":["should start with: \/"]},"code":2}
How can I execute script with command have '/' on Git Bash Windows ?
I am looking forward to hearing from you all ! Thanks a lot !

Add the following before your curl command:
export MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1
Caveat emptor: The solution is based off a similar issue that occurs for docker commands on Windows (ref: The DevOps 2.1 Toolkit: Docker Swarm)
