I have installed Julia 1.7.1 on Windows 10. Now when using the bash terminal I need to do julia.cmd (with the extension cmd) to run Julia.

This never happened to me before. It does not happen when I use PowerShell or cmd.

This might be due to be fact that jill.py creates "symlinks" as cmd file julia.cmd in ~\AppData\Local\julias\bin, and bash terminal doesn't recognize it unless you type the full name. I don't know if there's a good solution to "fix" this.

For bash terminal or julia shell that don't automatically translate "julia" to "julia.cmd". The symlinks are actually not working, and one has to manually add the $INSTALL_DIR/bin to PATH, e.g., C:\Users\jc\AppData\Local\julias\julia-1.7\bin
