For Windows 10 use this guide https://github.com/welaika/wordmove/wiki/How-to-install-Wordmove-on-Windows-10-with-Bash

Ruby Gem

Download the "RubyInstaller" from http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/. When installing Ruby makes sure to select the option "Add ruby executables to your PATH"
For RubyGems download the "Development Kit" from http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/. Extract to a folder, e.g. "C:\RubyDevKit"
Open a (new) Command Prompt, go to "C:\RubyDevKit" and run

ruby dk.rb init
ruby dk.rb install

Install Wordmove with RubyGems from the Command Prompt

gem install wordmove

Wordmove

Go to your main website folder and run

wordmove init

Edit the wordmove file "Movefile". For the "wordpress_path" use "\" or "/" instead of "", e.g. "C:/MyWeb" instead of "C:\MyWeb".
Start the MySQL service
Push your changes to the website

wordmove push -e development --all

Rsync

To use SSH with Wordmove you need rsync. This is not installed on Windows. Attempts to use rsync from Cygwin and Chocolatey have been unsuccessful.

FTP

Wordmove needs lftp. I have not tried to install this on Windows.
