Using the setup tool, there is no package of that name among the
cygwin packages, and not among cygports packages either (to
see those, use a cygports URL with the cygwin setup program,
such as ftp://ftp.cygwinports.org/pub/cygwinports/).

However, a great many such packages are relative easy to
build under cygwin if you have enough build tools installed
(things like gcc, make, autoconf, etc.).

If it's a package you like, you could learn the cygwin
packaging technology and become the package maintainer!

I've just taken a brief look at that GitHub page, and it looks to be at 
least vaguely similar to fzf, which is included with Cygwin. You might 
want to take a look at that and see if it meets your needs.

(For those paying attention: fzf hasn't had an update in a while because 
Cygwin's fzf package uses the Ruby version of the tool, which has been 
deprecated upstream in favour of a version written in Go. Cygwin doesn't 
have a Go compiler, so I'm in the process of forking the Ruby version to 
fully maintain it myself, but that project has been on hold for a while 
for reasons of my own health.)

Have you considered the bash select command? The following command
takes you to the documentation

info bash select

for example:

select fname in *.txt ;
do
    echo you picked No. ${REPLY}: ${fname} ;
    break ;
done

For quick documentation of bash select, you can simply enter

help select

at the bash / mintty prompt. Bash has help for most builtins actually,
