spawn new instance of msysgit in the same working directory

Question

I am trying to spawn a new instance of msysgit - the git bash shell for windows. I've noticed that the following command is executed when you start from the Start menu:

"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i

Therefore I've tried the following commands:

start /D /c/Program\ Files/Git/bin sh.exe --login -i

and

start /D "C:\Program Files\Git\bin" sh.exe --login -i

Both don't seem to work.

I want the same feature as that of typing in start in a windows classic command prompt. (It opens up a new command prompt window at the same working directory).

Answer 1

This works: start sh --login -i
