If you're having trouble re-launching Hyper after changing the config, you might find the following helpful:

On Windows 10, Hyper initially wouldn't re-launch for me after I pasted in and saved the new config text. After banging my head against the wall for a while, I realized that the directory that the shell setting in the config was pointing to didn't actually exist on my computer. Git had installed elsewhere; I determined where by typing 'Git' into the Start bar, clicking 'Open file location' under 'Git CMD', right-clicking on the shortcut in its folder, and selecting from the menu 'Open file location' once more. For me, Git had installed in C:\Users[myUserName]\AppData\Local\Programs\Git.

tl;dr in my case I was able to get it working by replacing "shell: 'C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe'," in the config with "shell: 'C:\Users[myUserName]\AppData\Local\Programs\Git\bin\sh.exe',"

thank you works for me

MINGW64 is the new icon being used with Git for Windows 2. It is from your environment variable that has been included in the bash prompt.

I cannot install express hyper1 hyper2 I need help please. Thank you

@EmJay-21 I believe that's not linked to the Hyper config. In case you are using a proxy configuration or a firewall it's blocking the connection to npm and it's giving back you a timeout. In case you don't have any proxy configuration, try to delete npm's proxy one and run npm install express again.
