Git and Batch file

Question

I want to start an application right after git loads in a Windows batch file.

I normally use:

node server.js

How do I incorporate that into:

start "" "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i

Answer 1

You can define your command in your ~/.profile.
You can see a full example in "Windows shortcut to run git bash script":

On the other hand, if you want to run a script and get your shell back, you should :

• Open the shell as is
• Edit or create ~/.profile (try vi ~/.profile)
• Add this line : ~/test.sh (adjust the path if needed)

In test.sh, you can add any command you want, like node server.js (or you could add them directly in the .profile)
