Hi
you just need to use the ogr2ogr command, reference is here:
http://www.gdal.org/ogr2ogr.html

This is possible for exporting Geodatabase features to shapefile
features, while it is not possible the opposite (ogr2ogr supports
Geodatabase only for reading)

you are in windows so i think you will automatically find Geodatabase
as a supported file output in ogr2ogr (not like me, i am on linux)
If you would be in linux you would need to install and use unixODBC
driver as discussed here:
http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_pgeo.html
