I mean to have several tabbed Msys2 terminals, all portable.
Is there a shell that has tabs that you can use with mingw? suggests console2, but I could not find a portable version (if there is a portable version, it would also be a useful answer!).
Then I considered ConEmu from here. This further indicates it can be done.
ConEmu: How to call msys2 as tab? asks about launching Msys2. But that uses the non-portable version.
In my case, the executable is
<mydir>\MSYS2Portable\MinGW64Portable.exe.
If I use <mydir>\MSYS2Portable\MinGW64Portable.exe -new_console, it creates a cmd tab, and a tiny MinGW window (with actually only a narrow title bar), which then stays in the background but is useless.
If I use cmd /A /Q /K "<mydir>\PortableApps\MSYS2Portable\MinGW64Portable.exe" -new_console, it creates a cmd tab, and a separate working MinGW terminal (same as if I launched it from PortableApps).
The only way I found to have a tabbed terminal is using <mydir>\MSYS2Portable\App\msys32\usr\bin\bash.exe --login -i -new_console, which only changes my colors from the regular non-tabbed terminal (including those explicitly set in a colored prompt).
I have nothing against this, but...
Is there a way to get the tabbed terminal calling MinGW64Portable.exe, or an alternative from within the directory of the portable app, which behaves exactly the same as running MinGW64Portable.exe outside the tabbed environment?
I am assuming what I did does not behave exactly the same (I did not identify differences so far, other than color as said). If <mydir>\MSYS2Portable\MinGW64Portable.exe only did <mydir>\MSYS2Portable\App\msys32\usr\bin\bash.exe --login -i, it seems to me it means that there would be a lot of superfluous files).
