I need to setup startup tasks in order to have 3 git bash tabs opened on startup, each in different location.
To open various tabs on various places I used
cmd -new_console:s /k "%ConEmuBaseDir%\CmdInit.cmd" & d: & cd \Projects\Project1
cmd -new_console:s /k "%ConEmuBaseDir%\CmdInit.cmd" & d: & cd \Projects\Project2
cmd -new_console:s /k "%ConEmuBaseDir%\CmdInit.cmd" & d: & cd \Projects\Project3
There is already a predefined task for Git bash
{Bash::Git bash}
"%ConEmuDrive%\Program Files\Git\git-cmd.exe" --command=usr/bin/bash.exe -l -i
So i tried following solutions
cmd -new_console:s /k "%ConEmuBaseDir%\CmdInit.cmd" & d: & cd \Projects\Project1 {Bash::Git bash}
and
{Bash::Git bash} -new_console:s /k "%ConEmuBaseDir%\CmdInit.cmd" & d: & cd \Projects\Project1
but none of them work.
How to solve it?
Feels sad when an inexperienced user doesn't get a proper help from the author... Oh well. Simple solution is:
Open Settings.
Go to Startup > Tasks.
Click on the plus to add new predefined task.
Name it Git bash::Project1.
Fill in following command
-new_console:s:d:D:\Projects\Project1"%ConEmuDrive%\Program Files\Git\git-cmd.exe" --command=usr/bin/bash.exe -l -i
Repeat this step for all desired project.
Add one new predefined task. Call it My.
Fill in following
{Git bash::Project1}
{Git bash::Project2}
{Git bash::Project3}
Click on Startup.
Select Specified named task and select {My}.
Restart.
Voila.
Awful...
First of all, ConEmu docs tells that you may use simple -new_console:d:"d:\Projects\Project"
to set startup directory.
You can't "execute" the {Bash::Git bash}
from cmd.exe
, what you try to do using /k
switch. The {Bash::Git bash}
is ConEmu Task and only ConEmu knows how to "run" it.
You last try {Bash::Git bash} /k "%ConEmuBaseDir%\CmdInit.cmd"
is absolutely wrong. The Bash does not ever know how to execute *.cmd
files. And bash.exe
does not support the /k
switch.
At last, your bash version may set specific directory via bash profile. Possible workarounds are described in docs.
BTW, instead of d: & cd \Projects\Project3
it's more handy and descriptive to call cd /d d:\Projects\Project3
.
