                Open MSYS2 terminal here (mingw-w64) from right-click menu
              
          
        
      
        
  
      
    For anyone who develops software on Windows (but needs quick access to a Linux terminal), here's a quick and easy way
to get it with MSYS2.
Before starting, install "MSYS2" with default settings.

From Windows search, launch 'regedit.exe'
Navigate to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell"
Right-click on 'shell' and select New>Key. Call this key MSYS2.
Now right-click on 'MSYS2' and select New>Key. Call this key command
Select command and then double-click on (Default). Set 'Value data' to "C:\msys64\msys2_shell.cmd" "-here"
