How to use the bash shell included in GitHub Desktop for Windows.
Raw
BashConEmu.md

GitHub Desktop installs several UNIX command line tools (actually it contains a subset of cygwin and msys). It's one of the easiest ways to build a UNIX-like CLI environment in a Windows system.

GitHub Desktop provides a powershell script shell.ps1 that sets up environment variables for the command line tools inside it. For instance, to launch the bash shell in ConEmu, the following command has to be added to a task.

powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Command ". $env:LOCALAPPDATA\GitHub\shell.ps1; bash"
