I’ve got this working with ConEmu instead.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/conemu/
- Install Git Bash
- Install ConEmu
- Open ConEmu, in settings (top right corner), click “settings”
- In the settings tree, open “startup”, then “tasks”
- Add a new task, or edit one of the existing ones
- click on the “tab” button in second row from bottom
- in the first box, enter “[git directory]\bin\sh.exe –login -s”
- in the second box, enter your preferred startup directory
- save
- now assign a hotkey (top right corner) (I have mine on ctrl+T)
- You’re done! Now you have a multitabbed console in windows, where you can create any number of Git Bash windows via a hotkey.
