Adding Git-Bash To The New Windows Terminal


Answer :

Overview

  1. Open settings with ctrl + ,
  2. You'll want to append one of the profiles options below (depending on what version of git you have installed) to the "list": portion of the settings.json file
{     "$schema": "https://aka.ms/terminal-profiles-schema",      "defaultProfile": "{00000000-0000-0000-ba54-000000000001}",      "profiles":     {         "defaults":         {             // Put settings here that you want to apply to all profiles         },         "list":         [             <put one of the configuration below right here>         ]     } }

Profile options

Uncomment correct paths for commandline and icon if you are using:

  • Git for Windows in %PROGRAMFILE%
  • Git for Windows in %USERPROFILE%
  • If you're using scoop
{     "guid": "{00000000-0000-0000-ba54-000000000002}",     "commandline": "%PROGRAMFILES%/git/usr/bin/bash.exe -i -l",     // "commandline": "%USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/Programs/Git/bin/bash.exe -l -i",     // "commandline": "%USERPROFILE%/scoop/apps/git/current/usr/bin/bash.exe -l -i",     "icon": "%PROGRAMFILES%/Git/mingw64/share/git/git-for-windows.ico",     // "icon": "%USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/Programs/Git/mingw64/share/git/git-for-windows.ico",     // "icon": "%USERPROFILE%/apps/git/current/usr/share/git/git-for-windows.ico",     "name" : "Bash",     "startingDirectory" : "%USERPROFILE%",  },

You can also add other options like:

{     "guid": "{00000000-0000-0000-ba54-000000000002}",     // ...     "acrylicOpacity" : 0.75,     "closeOnExit" : true,     "colorScheme" : "Campbell",     "cursorColor" : "#FFFFFF",     "cursorShape" : "bar",     "fontFace" : "Consolas",     "fontSize" : 10,     "historySize" : 9001,     "padding" : "0, 0, 0, 0",     "snapOnInput" : true,     "useAcrylic" : true }

Notes

  • make your own guid as of https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/2475 this is no longer generated.
  • the guid can be used in in the globals > defaultProfile so you can press you can press CtrlShiftT or start a Windows terminal and it will start up bash by default
"defaultProfile" : "{00000000-0000-0000-ba54-000000000001}",
  • -l -i to make sure that .bash_profile gets loaded
  • use environment variables so they can map to different systems correctly.
  • target git/bin/bash.exe to avoid spawning off additional processes which saves about 10MB per process according to Process Explorer compared to using bin/bash or git-bash

I have my configuration that uses Scoop in https://gist.github.com/trajano/24f4edccd9a997fad8b4de29ea252cc8


There are below things to do.

  1. Make sure your git command can be run successfully in CMD

That means you need to add git to path when install git or add it to system environment later.

enter image description here

  1. Update the config file profile.json

Open Settings, add following snippet inside the word profiles:

        {              "tabTitle": "Git Bash",             "acrylicOpacity" : 0.75,              "closeOnExit" : true,              "colorScheme" : "Campbell",              "commandline" : "C:/Program Files/Git/bin/bash.exe --login",              "cursorColor" : "#FFFFFF",              "cursorShape" : "bar",              "fontFace" : "Consolas",              "fontSize" : 12,              "guid" : "{14ad203f-52cc-4110-90d6-d96e0f41b64d}",              "historySize" : 9001,              "icon": "ms-appdata:///roaming/git-bash_32px.ico",             "name" : "Git Bash",              "padding" : "0, 0, 0, 0",              "snapOnInput" : true,              "useAcrylic" : true          }

The icon can be obtained here: git-bash_32px.ico

You can add icons for Tab to this location:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\RoamingState

Put 32x32 PNG/icons in this folder, and then in profile.json you can reference the image resource with the path starting with ms-appdata:// .

Note that, please make sure the Guidis correct and it matches the corresponding correct configs.

  1. Test git bash works well in Windows Terminal

The final result is below: enter image description here


This is the complete answer (GitBash + color scheme + icon + context menu)

1) Set default profile:

"globals" :  {     "defaultProfile" : "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001}",     ...

2) Add GitBash profile

"profiles" :  [     {         "guid": "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001}",         "acrylicOpacity" : 0.75,         "closeOnExit" : true,         "colorScheme" : "GitBash",         "commandline" : "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\\Git\\usr\\bin\\bash.exe\" --login -i -l",         "cursorColor" : "#FFFFFF",         "cursorShape" : "bar",         "fontFace" : "Consolas",         "fontSize" : 10,         "historySize" : 9001,         "icon" : "%PROGRAMFILES%\\Git\\mingw64\\share\\git\\git-for-windows.ico",          "name" : "GitBash",         "padding" : "0, 0, 0, 0",         "snapOnInput" : true,         "startingDirectory" : "%USERPROFILE%",         "useAcrylic" : false             },

3) Add GitBash color scheme

"schemes" :  [     {         "background" : "#000000",         "black" : "#0C0C0C",         "blue" : "#6060ff",         "brightBlack" : "#767676",         "brightBlue" : "#3B78FF",         "brightCyan" : "#61D6D6",         "brightGreen" : "#16C60C",         "brightPurple" : "#B4009E",         "brightRed" : "#E74856",         "brightWhite" : "#F2F2F2",         "brightYellow" : "#F9F1A5",         "cyan" : "#3A96DD",         "foreground" : "#bfbfbf",         "green" : "#00a400",         "name" : "GitBash",         "purple" : "#bf00bf",         "red" : "#bf0000",         "white" : "#ffffff",         "yellow" : "#bfbf00",         "grey" : "#bfbfbf"     },

4) To add a right-click context menu "Windows Terminal Here"

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00  [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\wt] @="Windows terminal here" "Icon"="C:\\Users\\{YOUR_WINDOWS_USERNAME}\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\WindowsApps\\{YOUR_ICONS_FOLDER}\\icon.ico"  [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\wt\command] @="\"C:\\Users\\{YOUR_WINDOWS_USERNAME}\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\WindowsApps\\wt.exe\""
  • replace {YOUR_WINDOWS_USERNAME}
  • create icon folder, put the icon there and replace {YOUR_ICONS_FOLDER}
  • save this in a whatever_filename.reg file and run it.

Converting A String To Int In Groovy

Answer : Use the toInteger() method to convert a String to an Integer , e.g. int value = "99".toInteger() An alternative, which avoids using a deprecated method (see below) is int value = "66" as Integer If you need to check whether the String can be converted before performing the conversion, use String number = "66" if (number.isInteger()) { int value = number as Integer } Deprecation Update In recent versions of Groovy one of the toInteger() methods has been deprecated. The following is taken from org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.StringGroovyMethods in Groovy 2.4.4 /** * Parse a CharSequence into an Integer * * @param self a CharSequence * @return an Integer * @since 1.8.2 */ public static Integer toInteger(CharSequence self) { return Integer.valueOf(self.toString().trim()); } /** * @deprecated Use the CharSequence version * @see #toInteger(CharSequence) */ @Deprecated public static Integer toInteger(String self) { return toInteg

"Cannot Create Cache Directory /home//.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org/, Or Directory Is Not Writable. Proceeding Without Cache"

Answer : if anyone pass through here, this is shorter solution: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.composer it seems to me the group information is missing in your command sudo chown -R <user> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org Shoud be sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org But to avoid other permission issues, I would rather advise: sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache (you'll need access to other folders in there) and sudo chown <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer To make sure your user has permissions enough on the global composer folder. Mind the missing recursion so the user don't own keys created by root. If you need to find out the group: groups <user>

Android How Can I Convert A String To A Editable

Answer : As you probably found out, Editable is an interface so you cannot call new Editable() . However an Editable is nothing more than a String with Spannables, so use SpannableStringBuilder: Editable editable = new SpannableStringBuilder("Pass a string here"); If you only want to change the Spannables, never the text itself, you can use a basic SpannableString. Use Editable.Factory.getInstance().newEditable(str) From the android documentation: Returns a new SpannedStringBuilder from the specified CharSequence. You can override this to provide a different kind of Spanned.
