Git Bash Here in ConEmu

There are a number of ways this can be done in ConEmu as it is so highly configurable, but here's the way I do it.

• In ConEmu, hit WinAltp to open the settings dialog.
• Select the Tasks subsection under the Startup node and click the + icon to add a new 'Task'
• In the Task Name field enter Git Bash, leave Task Parameters blank and add "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i to the Commands section. It should look something like this:

• Now select the Integration node and enter the following under the ConEmu Here - Explorer menu integration section:
  • Menu item: ConEmu Here [Git Bash]
  • Command: /single /cmd {Git Bash}
  • Icon file: C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\share\git\git-for-windows.ico
• Click the Register button

This should add an entry in your right-click context menu (complete with icon). In the Command field you can use any of the ConEmu.exe switches (worth checking out for more complete documentation of what you can do - it's pretty powerful).

Note: If you'd like a Git for Windows icon to appear at the top left of the ConEmu window, use the /icon switch; e.g.,

/icon "C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\share\git\git-for-windows.ico" /single /cmd {Git Bash}

This only seems to work if it's the first tab open, though.

Starting with ConEmu Portable .7z downoad and msysgit PortableGit .7z download, I created the following Windows shortcut. Of course adjust your portable path to ConEmu and Git appropriately.

LNK Target:

D:\PortableApps\ConEmu\ConEmu.exe /cmd bin\bash.exe --login -i -cur_console:n

LNK Start in:

D:\PortableApps\Git-msysgit

I got Portable ConEmu version 150111 in zip archive and had the GiT Bash in tasks just out of the box. As well as some other entries. So there was no need in editing anything at all.
