Embed Git bash in PyCharm as external tool and work with it in PyCharm window (windows xp)
File -> settings -> terminal -> shell path
Paste this if you have a 32-bit installation of Git:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login
Or this for 64-bit installation:
"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login
The quotes are important: if you don't specify them you'll get an error because the path contains spaces.
If you encounter java.io.IOException: Couldn't create PTY, check that:
- There is an istallation of git in the specified path.
- You have used quotes around the path.
Configure the Terminal to use bash.exe or sh.exe from Git installation like this:
"c:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login
Use Tools | Open Terminal... (or click on the Terminal tool window) then run your git command in the Terminal tool window.
