Simple automation on windows is a bit tricky. This is especially true if you use Linux like programs such as git bash where the difference become stark. Paths to not interpret correctly, etc.
In order to set up aliases in Git-Bash to work correctly, you must use the windows shortpath which is the fully qualified or absolute path. There are several way to do this. The easiest is to use a script that can print out the current path as a short path.
shortpath.cmd
:: Display the short path of current directory.
@ECHO OFF
if '%1'=='' (%0 .) else echo %~s1
You can then use that path in an alias
OPEN_OFFICE_WRITER="C:/PROGRA~2/OPENOF~1/program/swriter.exe "
alias resume='${OPEN_OFFICE_WRITER} my-resume.odt &'
Windows Tips focus on windows desktop tool customizations. This includes changing prompts or removing your username from view.
To customize the Git Bash prompt you must find and modify the git-prompt.sh file(NOTE: this file cannot be modified from within git-bash while it is running. Use an outside editor).
1. To find where git-prompt is installed open the Git Bash app's
properties. This is buried by Microsoft for some unknown reason.
The easiest way to find it is to add the app to the task bar. From
there, you can right click for the properties menu.
1. Open the start menu and search for Git Bash.
2. Right click the icon and pin it to the task bar.
3. Right click the Git Bash icon on the task bar.
4. Right click the Git Bash icon in the menu
5. select properties.
6. Note the path, this is where git-prompt.sh is installed.
7. git-prompt.sh is usually found in etc/profile.d subdirectory
2. Edit the git-prompt.sh file's PS1 variable commenting and removing
lines as needed e.g:
PS1='\[\033]0;\h:$PWD\007\]' # set window title
PS1="$PS1"'\[\033[32m\]' # change to green
PS1="$PS1"'\h [\D{%m/%d/%g:%I:%M:%S:%p]}' # host<space>Time stamp
PS1="$PS1"'\[\033[0m\]' # change color
PS1="$PS1"': ' # prompt: always : at end.
