1. Task Feature

I think it's a great idea to add support for task since you may run different commands for different projects respectively. I've achieved this idea by using the plugin https://github.com/mgutski/sublime-run-task. For example, set your run task in <project-name>.sublime-project file as bellow:

    "Run Task.tasks": 
    [
        {
            "name": "Test bash",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "echo",
            "windows": {
                "command": "D:\\\\msys64\\usr\\bin\\bash.exe",
                "args": "--login -c 'while :;do echo ok && sleep 1;done'"
            }
        },
        {
            "name": "Test terminals",
            "type": "sublime",
            "command": "terminus_open",
            "args" : {
                "cmd" : [
                    "D:\\\\cygwin\\bin\\bash.exe", "--login", "-c",
                    "/usr/bin/bash --login -c 'while :;do echo ok && sleep 1;done'"
                ]
            }
        }
    ]

and press ctrl + shift + p, search Run Task, enter then you will find these two tasks.

2. Cygwin/Msys Tips

Here provide an setup to create cygwin bash at the dir of the current file i think it's very useful Context.sublime-menu

[
    {
        "caption": "Create Terminals",
        "children": [
            {
                "caption": "Create Msys2 Bash In Tab",
                "command": "terminus_open",
                "args": {
                    "cmd": [
                        "D:\\\\Programs\\msys64\\usr\\bin\\bash.exe",
                        "--login", "-c",
                        "/usr/bin/bash --login -c \"cd '\\$(/usr/bin/cygpath -u '${file_path:${folder}}')' && /usr/bin/bash -i\""
                    ],
                    "cwd": "${file_path:${folder}}"
                }
            }
        ]
    }
]

ps: bash -c means execute command and exit, and -c is the only way to pass command we need to run, so we run bash -i within bash -c

Here we need '--login' for two times, that's because with 1 time you can't get path worked so you will get 'command not found error' for both windows and msys commands. And i don't know why.

In vscode you need --login noly 1 time.

Does build system not work for you?

Sometimes it'll be convenient to customize the task for each project. Build system select for file suffix, while the task work for project, and i think that's the point.

You could also have project wise build systems.
