Windows – How to open a new git bash terminal window at the current location in windows

bashgitkeyboard shortcutsterminalwindows

When running git bash, I can open a new bash window at my root with Alt+F2

I can open a windows explorer window at the current directory path

$ explorer .

Trying

$ sh

to open a new terminal window at my location just returns

sh: __git_ps1: command not found

and opens the shell in the current window without git running.

How can I quickly open a new bash shell at my location?

StuperUser answer is correct, but I want to add that besides adding shell script in a PATH environment it's also possible to add a simple bash alias into .bashrc or .bash_profile files.

Just create alias:

alias git-bash='/git-bash.exe & > /dev/null 2&>1'

bashrc and bash_profile it's a standard BASH configuration files, you can found them in your user home folder.

tell application "Terminal"  
    do script " "  
    activate  
end tell

It seems weird but it takes advantage of an oddity in how Terminal handles incoming "do script" commands; it creates a new window for each one. You could actually replace that with something useful if you want; it'll execute whatever you want just after opening the new window.

There is a very informative thread over in the i3-faq forum that has various scripts/programs that tackle this very issue.

I went for the c program xcwd which really does a great job. It also works from within GUI programs.
