Install https://msys2.github.io/
pacman --needed -Sy bash pacman pacman-mirrors msys2-runtime
Quit MSYS2 and relaunch it.
pacman -Su
pacman -S git
I turn off Git's conversion to CRLF, as we can work with LF just fine in MSYS2 & Sublime Text
git config --global core.autocrlf false

Create cmder_mingw64.bat in c:\msys64:
@echo off
cd /d c:\msys64
set MSYSTEM=MINGW64
call .\usr\bin\sh --login -i
In cmder settings>Tasks (under Startup) add a task named msys2 with the command:
-new_console:d:C:\msys64\home\YOUR_USERNAME "c:\msys64\cmder_mingw64.bat"
-
Under Startup: Check "Specify named task", {MSYS2}

To use ssh-agent, copy and paste from https://help.github.com/articles/working-with-ssh-key-passphrases/#auto-launching-ssh-agent-on-msysgit to
~/.profile
For git prompt niceties, download the git prompt script
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git/git/master/contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh -o ~/.git-prompt.sh
and add to ~/.profile:
BLACK="$(tput setaf 0 2>/dev/null || echo '\e[0;30m')"
RED="$(tput setaf 1 2>/dev/null || echo '\e[0;31m')"
GREEN="$(tput setaf 2 2>/dev/null || echo '\e[0;32m')"
YELLOW="$(tput setaf 3 2>/dev/null || echo '\e[0;33m')"
BLUE="$(tput setaf 4 2>/dev/null || echo '\e[0;34m')"
PURPLE="$(tput setaf 5 2>/dev/null || echo '\e[0;35m')"
CYAN="$(tput setaf 6 2>/dev/null || echo '\e[0;36m')"
WHITE="$(tput setaf 7 2>/dev/null || echo '\e[0;37m')"
# Set up git prompt
source ~/.git-prompt.sh
PS1="\[$BLUE\]\u\[$YELLOW\]\[$YELLOW\]\w\[\033[m\]\[$PURPLE\]\$(__git_ps1)\[$WHITE\]\$ "
To allow Ctrl-LeftArrow and Ctrl-RightArrow navigation-by-word, add to ~/.inputrc
"\e[1;5C": forward-word # ctrl + right
"\e[1;5D": backward-word # ctrl + left
To allow selection with Shift-LeftArrow and Shift-RightArrow:
Settings>Keys & Macro>Mark/Copy>Start selection with Shift+Arrow
To allow clicking to set the cursor:
Settings>Keys & Macro>Mouse>Change prompt text cursor position with Left Click
In Preferences > Settings - User, add:
"default_line_ending": "unix",
"hot_exit": false,
"remember_open_files":false,
these keep Sublime from trying to reopen old windows (buggy on Windows), and switches to LF endings
*Use View->Line Endings to convert files from CRLF to LF
(We don't want to use CRLF ever, as it complicates git, breaks Pd, and Sublime handles LF just fine in Windows)
Disable changing text size with control-scrollwheel http://superuser.com/questions/472468/in-sublime-text-how-do-you-disable-increase-decrease-font-size-with-ctrl-and-mo
Download GHC 8.0.2 (built by me, resolves a linker bug) https://github.com/lukexi/ghc/releases/download/8.0.1.1/ghc-8.0.1-x86_64-unknown-mingw32.tar.xz
tar xvf
and copy to /usr/local/ghc
Add GHC and Sublime Text to Windows' PATH by right-clicking the Start menu and editing System > Advanced > Environment Variables > Path:
C:\msys64\usr\local\ghc\bin;%APPDATA%\local\bin;C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3;
Make sure to use 64bit stack so we get 64bit GHC too https://www.stackage.org/stack/windows-x86_64-installer
Make sure stack uses the system GHC, and fix garbled stack output in Cmder:
In %APPDATA%/stack/config.yaml
system-ghc: true
modify-code-page: false
skip-msys: true
