How to run Glade and Devhelp after installing with MSYS2

I was following the steps on the official GTK+ website. (https://www.gtk.org/download/windows.php) However, after finishing those steps, how do I run them?

    MSYS2 no longer provides the Devhelp package.

    See https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/issues/5805

    Original version:

    I wrote that page. Found that so obvious that I didn't mention it but maybe that's just because I'm too used to the UNIX way of doing things. To run a tool in command line, you just type its name and press enter. So just type devhelp or glade.

    You can also use autocompletion and just press the beginning of a word like gla, press the Tab key, and the available choice will appear.

    You may append the & sign at the end of the command to run it in the background so you can still use your terminal.
