Note that you don't *have to* use Git bash: everything just works in the regular cmd.exe. Actually, the existence of Git bash is due to some parts of Git are written as Unix shell scripts so Git for Windows has to ship with a shell implementing POSIX semantics. There's no consensus in the Git for Windows community on what shell to use for interactive work with Git. I, for one, prefer cmd.exe as I tend to use the shell not only for Git. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
