You can add

export JULIA_PKGDIR=C:/Users/you/.julia

to then end of your .bashrc file in Cygwin.


For git, check the order of things in
ENV["PATH"]
run(`which -a git`)

from inside Julia. If the git that's part of Julia comes before Cygwin's 
/usr/bin/git, I think you should be okay.

Hi,tony, thanks for timely and insightful reply. Unfortunately, I'm new to 
cygwin (linux) and not quite sure what step should I take to make the the 
job done. For example, where can I find the julia package path, and to 
which I add these path in cygwin, with which command ("export" as I 
guess?). For the git issue, I think I first need to uninstall the git 
package in cygwin and then call git outside, is that true? Thank you for 
your help.

When you run a login terminal in Julia, your HOME is set differently than 
outside of Cygwin. You could set the environment variable JULIA_PKGDIR to 
your normal package directory. Note that if you're using Julia 0.4, you 
should avoid having Cygwin's git in your path, or have it later than the 
version of git that comes with Julia 0.4. The Julia package manager isn't 
compatible with Cygwin's version of git, but on Julia 0.5 the package 
manager no longer uses command-line git so it's not an issue.

"a login terminal in Cygwin" rather, sorry

 I notice Julia's document shows how to compile julia source code from 
cygwin. 
 However, given julia had be installed on my mechine, I prefer to add path 
rather than install another version.
