It's useful running vim in git bash on Windows. I'll switch, though, if I ever figure out how to install tmux in that environment then I'll switch.

- caymanjim 4y agoThere's no good reason to run git bash on Windows anymore either, since you can use WSL!
- kagevf 4y agoActually, when I tried to use git on Win10 it worked at first but then at some point stopped functioning. Now that I'm on Win11, I definitely need to revisit that - thanks for the reminder! The only downside, though, is the clipboard won't be as easily accessible. I'm thinking of things like piping text to clip.
- cerved 4y agoWSL has absolute dogshit I/O so that's not true
- kagevf 4y agoI think that's what I ran into ... but not at first, only later, which was weird ...
- daveguy 4y agoIf you need to run tmux in git bash, this worked for me: 1. Installs msys2 (which includes pacman package manager) # can be done separately from your git installation 2. pacman -S tmux # install tmux to msys2 within msys2 3. Copy tmux.exe and msys-event-2-1-7*.dll from msys2 to C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin # may be a different version msys-event 4. Uninstall msys2! This was important to me because I found edge cases where msys2 did not honor directory links as "not msys files" and it borked things. YMMV
