git bash inside Webstorm terminal

git-bash-in-webstorm.md

Go to File -> Settings -> Tools -> Terminal and change Shell path based on the the installed git version.

for 64bit:

"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i

for 32bit:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i

Don't forget the quotes around the command.

Note that :

• You have to use : C:\Users\youruserid\AppData\Local\Programs\Git\bin\bash.exe
• Do NOT use : C:\Users\youruserid\AppData\Local\Programs\Git\git-bash.exe

thankss!!!!!!

Thanks!

thanks

Thank you !!!!!

Thank you !!!!!

Thanks! 👍

Thanks. I've used only "sh.exe" and it's working perfectly. What's the meaning of --login -i ?

It source your .bash_profile.

It works. Thank you!

Just an FYI, but an alias for --login -i (interactive login) is to simply specify -li

Thanks

Thanks

using the path - /bin/bash - works well...

if you click in arrow, show some terminal options :)

Hi there, nice work, thanks a lot. Very useful for WIN32 developers.

However, aliases are ignored after git bash based terminal is started from WebStorm

C:\Users\yourUser.bash_profile is not executed by default...
not C:\Program Files\Git\etc\profile.d\aliases.sh ...

I don't know how to make aliases be taken into account. Any clue ?

Thanks

thanks

It's helpful!
