From what I am reading, to run maven on a windows computer I need to download cygwin.
Can I get away with gitbash?

A:
No, you don't need Cygwin. Just a Windows version of NT or above.
From the Maven website:
On Windows, Windows NT and above or Cygwin is required for the startup scripts.
From here.

Really, mrblah didn't read the website clearly or do his own homework?

Maven runs just fine on windows, it is just a batch file that invokes Java. If you have a JRE/JDK on your machine (with JAVA_HOME correctly configured), you'll be fine.
