IntelliJ with Git for Windows SDK

After installing the Git for Windows SDK, configure the IntelliJ default terminal to use the following command:

C:\git-sdk-64\msys2_shell.cmd -defterm -here -no-start -mingw64

This command ensures that the terminal in IntelliJ launches with the Git for Windows SDK environment, providing access to the necessary tools and settings for development.

Explanation of Command Options:

  • -defterm: Launches the terminal in the default configuration.

  • -here: Opens the terminal in the current directory.

  • -no-start: Prevents the terminal from starting a new shell session.

  • -mingw64: Specifies the MinGW 64-bit environment, which is commonly used for development with Git for Windows SDK.

By using this command, you ensure that IntelliJ's terminal is properly configured to leverage the Git for Windows SDK environment.
