(defun run-bash ()
  "Runs a bash shell in windows emacs in a buffer called *bash*,
  multiple instances are allowed. M-x shell still launches cmd. 
  Otherwise this can be directly acheived by pointing 
  `explicit-shell-name' to your shell.

  Here I'm using Msys Git's bash, which was already in PATH. 
  For customizing prompts etc. refer to shell's documentation,
  a file in ~/.emacs.d/init_SHELLNAME.sh,SHELLNAME will be most 
  likely sh.exe if you're using executable-find as below"

         (explicit-sh-args '("--login" "-i")))
