.bash_profile is being ignored #242

Hi,

I have a .bash_profile file located on my %USERPROFILE% dir, it used to be considered when using git-bash, although it is being completely ignored when using bash from gow. Is that any configuration that must be done to take that file in account?

Thank you in advance.

I worked around this by typing "bash --login" to start bash. It seems that bash, in GoW, is not started up as if it is a login shell.

You can create a file Gow\bash.bat which set Gow\home as User home。Then you can put .bash_profile, .vimrc files in Gow\home.

@echo off

:: GOW_HOME whill be mounted to /usr 

set GOW_HOME=%~dp0
set HOME=%GOW_HOME%home
set PATH=%GOW_HOME%home\bin;%GOW_HOME%bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0

start %GOW_HOME%/bin/bash.exe --login %*
