Hi Christopher, I (personally) am also trying to get my head around the terminal awkwardness. Have a look at
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/git-for-windows/o4vIpvIEWhE/pbp9-dHqBgAJ https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1674 https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/2357?email_source=notifications&email_token=AAG7HJ555OM6DJGKTQ54OVLQPITQ7A5CNFSM4JBMC7D2YY3PNVWWK3TUL52HS4DFVREXG43VMVBW63LNMVXHJKTDN5WW2ZLOORPWSZGOEBWCQ4Q#issuecomment-543959154 (some cross linkage and links to other GH Issues) IIUC the git-bash is compiled as a resource from the build-extra makefile and links into the git.cmd (I think). plus, it updates the path so that the current git can be found. Dscho is the expert on this. I'm trying to document some of the intricacies that folk may need to know - so my ignorance is both a help and a hindrance :wink: Philip On Sunday, October 20, 2019 at 2:39:03 PM UTC+1, CrestChristopher wrote: > > Hi, I’m having an issue with git-bash; and I hope someone can help. > > When I’m in command (DOS) in Windows, I can change between DOS and > Powershell by simply typing in either cmd or powershell and my shell > changes.
