This is all the configuration files needed for adding "bash here" options in the Windows right-click shortcut/context menu.

This implementation should work for MSYS2 and MINGW32/64 shells that come with MSYS2.

0. Make sure environment variable %HOME% exists. (This script will source %HOME%/.bash_profile)
1. git clone [email protected]:njzhangyifei/msys2-mingw-shortcut-menus.git into your desired directory to install
   • Or git clone https://github.com/njzhangyifei/msys2-mingw-shortcut-menus.git when git via ssh is not available
2. ./install and follow the instructions. Use ./install --user for current user only
3. double-click install_right_click_menu.reg file to merge it into your windows registry
4. (Optional) If you don't see icons in the context menu, please install msys2-launcher via pacman (pacman -S msys/msys2-launcher-git) or from source https://github.com/elieux/msys2-launcher

• This script does NOT depend on cygpath.
• If you are using Zsh, please copy-and-edit a msys2_shell_zsh.cmd in your MSYS2 install directory. You will also need to change TEMPLATE_SHELL in the install script to zsh. For example template, please see reg_aio_zsh_msys2_shell_example.template.
• If you are using msys2 with filesystem newer than 2016.05-2, this script will only generate one .reg file. That's ALL you need to create this context menu. You can delete this directory after merging the .reg file.

• For the MSYS2 version with start_shell.cmd, the script will use bash_here_start_shell.template for generating bash scripts.
  • You MUST have environmental variable $HOME defined as your home directory path.
• To use shell other than bash (e.g. to use zsh), you might want to create a start_shell_zsh.cmd and (mingw*/msys2)_shell_zsh.bat. Then, you will need to modify either the template or the bash script generated to call the corresponding batch file.
