Adding Git Bash to Windows 10 Address Bar












1















I recently learned that cmd and powershell can be started from the address bar in the Windows File Explorer, which will then start a shell in that specific location.



I am now wondering if there's a way to expand this functionality by adding Git Bash to the address bar? I know that it can be added to the dropdown menu that shows 'up'? when using Right-Click, but I don't know how to add it to the address bar or if it can be done.



Thank you :)





Update. After adding the Git Bash executable to PATH it worked as I wanted it to.

          Every program or file can be launched via the address-bar of Windows Explorer,
          the same as when entering the command in the Run box.



          No special action is required, just enter the program's executable in the
          address-bar with parameters.



          But it might be easier to use the Run box
          (Win+R).

          • My mistake was that I hadn't added the executable to PATH - worked perfectly afterwards.
