| Console2 is awesome, and makes working with the command line on Windows much easier. | |
| The problem I had was that when I used the "Git Bash Here" item on Windows Explorer context menus, | |
| it was using the standard command prompt shell. I tracked down the VBS script that is used by the | |
| menu item, and modified it to launch Console2 with the Git Bash settings instead. Below is the | |
| modified VBS script and the Git Bash tab section from my console.xml file. | |
| Obviously path names may vary. |

Thank you so much! This is just what I was looking for. One thing to note for anyone who has any issues running this on a 64 bit version of Windows. Make sure you change the following line in the XML config file.
FROM:
<console shell=""C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i"
TO:
<console shell=""C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i"
