How to open git bash in windows?

[aa755]

I'm using mysysgit in windows and wish to open git bash instead of default shell. However, i can't figure out the custom command for it. I tried the suggestions in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17302977/how-to-launch-git-bash-from-dos-command-line, but they didn't seem to work. Thanks

what is the command to that on windows shell?

start "" "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login seems to work. I tried replacing %SYSTEMDRIVE% with C:\ in the custom command field of the plugin. But it didn't work

ok.... i suppose there is an escaping issue. The problem is that i have no windows machine to test it, but i can try it in dev mode to see what do you need to escape to get that result. So is it ok for you if i write you here the string that should be set in the plugin and you try it?

also as a quick test, did you try to escape all double quotes and slashes? something like:

start \"\" \"%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe\" --login

? let me know...

I tried that and start \"\" \"%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe\" --login and start \"\" \"C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe\" --login

None of them worked

I'll be happy to try more commands. Let me know

@aa755 : Please use the newest version at PPUC. Use the pattern D:\tools\Git\bin\sh.exe --login -i as custom shell command
