configuration for msysgit bash inside emacs on windows

What do you add to your .emacs file to use msysgit bash inside emacs ?

I just modified the c开发者_开发百科ygwin instructions for msysgit replace cygwin with msysgit everywhere in these .

The only thing i can't do is run ssh or vim inside the bash...

directory completions work with windows style drive names prepended at the beginning.

Add this to your "_emacs.el" - it works for me:

;; When running in Windows, we want to use an alternate shell so we
;; can be more unixy.
(setq shell-file-name "C:/Program Files/msysgit/bin/bash")
(setq explicit-shell-file-name shell-file-name)

Update May 2018: Git 2.18 (Q2 2018) has now removed the contrib/emacs/ content.

Users of the git.el mode are now much better off using either Magit or the Git backend for Emacs's own VC mode.

See "Emacs Lisp error at init" for more.

Original answer 2011:

Not tested, but the idea was (2008) to copy in your Git installation directory at least:

contrib\emacs\git.el    
contrib\emacs\git-mswin.el

With git-mswin.el being "Windows/msysgit specific modifications for git.el".
