Windows

git-bash

Overview

git-bash is an msys2 based environment that ships with enough tools to get productive with git on windows.
It includes some common unix tools like:

  • vim
  • find-utils
  • coreutils
  • linux-utils

It runs in the mintty terminal, which is customizable.

You can access other windows drives from the root path

cd /c/Users/foo

Adding tmux

You could compiles tmux, or install it to another msys2 environment and copy the files to git-bash's filesystem.
