Hi.

The default git distribution for windows contains, besides the CLI tools, a shell integration, i.e. a context menu for Windows Explorer. This context menu has a "Git bash" option which I suppose should open a Git bash prompt cd'd to the current directory. But instead, the git bash window opens and immediately closes, giving me no chance to even see what it says inside it. Any fix?

Note: Opening Git Bash from the Windows Start Menu works fine, but if
I open it that way, then I need to manually cd to the needed dir.

TIA, Stefan Monov
