I want to hide Git bash console (close not minimized) during execution like when a file is downloading in background via bash in localhost xampp.
You can nohup the git process. nohup keeps git running even when you close the terminal.
nohup git fetch & exit
Note that you won't be able to make any input, so stay away from commands like git pull that may expect input. You could use GNU screen to run these commands.
Alternative:
Sounds like you don't want to use the console at all. Maybe you should try a graphical software for your file manager, like RabbitVCS for Nautilus, Nemo, and Thunar on Linux, or TortoiseGit for Explorer on Windows.

So i have a C program that i made a while back that im going to remake in qt with additional features.
Typically how i ran the program is I open the terminal, navigate to the project folder, and use the command
$ sudo nice --10 ./myprogram
That is not the case anymore, since i am using qt-creator i now just simply click the 'run' button and the program starts. My program works best when it has elevated scheduler priority hence the nice --10.
How do i modify my qt-creator project to run my program with the sudo nice --10 command?
To do that go to
Tools-> Options-> Environment -> System Tab under the terminal option write "/usr/bin/xterm sudo nice --10"
Also if you have not done it already go to Projects -> Build & Run -> Run and check the box Run in terminal.
I never tried, but in the config of your project you can add a user defined executable to be executed.
Maybe creator allows for a shellscript, than you can simply put your sudo nice --10 in a shellscript, or you write a little program which gets a program path as parameter and starts it with the elevated scheduler priority (guess there is a user api in linux for that...)
I'm running ubuntu 1804 on windows using the WSL. Everything is set up fine and works correctly. I've also installed ZSH and oh-my-zsh, again this is all good and everything looks like its working fine. Everything except the arrow keys whilst using vim or man pages or some other command line tools.
The up and down keys work on the command line when scrolling through history and also for select commands like nano. Also if I boot into bash rather than zsh the arrow keys do work in vim and man pages, in fact they work everywhere.
If i boot into bash, then switch to zsh on the command line manually the arrow keys then work everywhere.
So my cmder config for zsh
c:/_distros/ubuntu1804/ubuntu1804.exe -c zsh -cur_console:pm
and for bash
set "PATH=%ConEmuBaseDirShort%\wsl;%PATH%" & %ConEmuBaseDirShort%\conemu-cyg-64.exe --wsl -cur_console:pm:/mnt
The one for bash uses the conemu-cyg-64.exe program that comes from conemu which is a symbiont of POSIX enabled pty and WinAPI full-featured terminal.
Apparently you can use this tool with zsh but i cant manage to make it work i get the error
{PID:10592} failed to run shell (2): No such file or directory
{PID:10592} shell: `/usr/bin/zsh` `-l` `-i`
{PID:10592} dir: `/cygdrive/c/Program Files/cmder`
ConEmuC: Root process was alive less than 10 sec, ExitCode=0.
Press Enter or Esc to close console...
and this is the task in cmder
set "PATH=%ConEmuBaseDirShort%\wsl;%PATH%" & %ConEmuBaseDirShort%\conemu-cyg-64.exe /usr/bin/zsh -l -i -cur_console:pm:/mnt
So I think that if i can boot into zsh using conemu-cyg-64 that the cursor keys will probably work in commands like vim and the man pages. Any help or advice getting that working would be brilliant.
EDIT:
On my ubuntu install zsh is installed at /usr/bin/zsh, but there is no file or folder /cygdrive/c/Program Files/cmder
Many thanks to #Maximus for pointing me in the right direction. The answer was right under my nose at the bash on windows page of conemu. A small change to the command i was using before. the zsh needs to go on the end rather than before the --wsl.
The correct task to ensure that cursor keys work on all apps in the terminal is:
set "PATH=%ConEmuBaseDirShort%\wsl;%PATH%" & %ConEmuBaseDirShort%\conemu-cyg-64.exe --wsl -cur_console:pnm:/mnt -t zsh -l
On Windows, default terminal for Atom's Platformio-Ide-Terminal is Powershell (at least, that is what I get without any configuration).
I would prefer a terminal using unix-type commands. I already have MINGW and CYGWIN installed.
How can I avoid opening a Powershell and opening another terminal type instead?
Set the default shell in:
Edit>>Settings>>Packages>>Platformio Ide Terminal>>Settings>>Shell Override
You can use the git's bash as proposed here as you probably already have git installed.
C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe
Step by Step Solution
Go the Setting-> Packages -> In Search Bar, search for the platformio.
Open platformio and go to Shell Override Option.
Put the following line as per as your Terminal Requirement
For cmd- C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\cmd.exe
For Power Shell- C:\\WINDOWS\\Sysnative\\WndowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe
For bash- C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe or C:\\Windows\\System32\\bash.exe (depending on how you install the bash). Be Sure, that you have already install the bash into your computer.
Now, you can integrate bash, cmd, git bash, Power Shell into Atom using platformio as terminal.
For CYGWIN users, the bash executable from the following location has proved useful for setting the shell override Settings >> Packages >> Platformio Ide Terminal >> Settings >> Shell Override
C:\cygwin64\bin\bash.exe
If you are now using Ubuntu for Windows 10 (downloaded from the app store), you can change it to that as well.
Ubuntu gets installed in Windows' PATH by default, so just change the default shell to:
ubuntu.exe
That's it. Just remember that to get to your code, cd to /mnt/(driveletter)/wherever/your/files/sit.
For someone who still can't get this to work because your git bash is installed in AppData. This worked for me.
C:\Users\saurabh\AppData\Local\Programs\Git\bin\bash.exe
I'm trying to wrap my head around this: on Windows, I use cmder (a wrapper around ConEmu) which improves on the bare cmd.exe experience (a lot) but can also host other shells like PowerShell or Git Bash. I'd like to go more "unix-y" but still well integrated with my Windows tools. Git Bash strikes the right balance for me: I can do things like rm -rf node_modules but still run my Windows commands fine.
It's easy to get Git Bash going inside cmder, however, I'd like to replace the shell with zhs, mainly to get the super-useful "up arrow respects the current prefix" feature (I write git, press the up arrow and only get suggestions on the recent Git commands).
The question is, who will handle the up arrow? Will it be ConEmu and do Windows-y stuff (cycling through all the commands) or will it fall down to zsh and the cycling will be implemented by it? How does this work?
Related: ConEmu: possible to change the up arrow behavior?
ConEmu's disclaimer states
ConEmu is not a shell, so it does not provide "shell features" like remote access, tab-completion, command history and others.
Only the shell itself knows when user types a command and only the shell may store executed commands history. Of course, only the shell may process Up/Down/Tab keys to "browse" stored history of commands.
cmder is a bundle of tools including clink, which integrates into cmd.exe and process cmd's prompt internally. So, in cmder by default Up/Down/Tab arrows are processed by clink.
More info is here: http://conemu.github.io/en/TabCompletion.html
i am currently having problem with 'meteor' and i am currently new to this learning this stuff. So, after installing 'Meteor' i opened command prompt on Windows and typed :
meteor create goodboy
and then,
cd goodboy
But to delete the live and already running example app, i used :
rm goodboy.*
But the command prompt, gave this error :
rm is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file.
Is there anyway i can fix this error, thank you.
Use del on Windows.
Also, this has nothing to do with Meteor. You can also delete a Meteor project by going to the folder and dragging it to the trash.
If you are on windows, git bash may run such commands.
If you are using Mac then we can simply use
rm -f src/*
and For windows we can use command for this is
del -f "src/*"
Hope this works fine for you.
Download and Extract PortableGit.
This has most of commonly used Linux based tools ported to windows.
Add [PortableGit Path]\usr\bin to PATH variable of Windows
You can also use your system's Git installation instead of PortableGit.
This should solve the problem
I'm running Git shell prompt and for some reason it doesn't have it any more. I ended up using Cygin to get it working:
https://www.cygwin.com/
My penny's worth.
You could potentially add rm to powershell. In your (or a) profile.ps1 (or other if your powershell is not core).
rm {
del
}
or as an alias
Set-Alias rm del
or (and this is a tricky one), run WSL, bind the target folder and run via the linux interface.
PS: running the command via the Git Bash (MINGW64) terminal as suggested above, did the trick for me.
I guess you are not using bash terminal. Try this..
1- Go to the folder that you want to remove its contents lets call it my-app folder.
2- Right click in the empty space, then choose get Bash here.
3- Paste the command rm -f A_folder/* (I'm about to remove the content inside A_folder folder which is a sub-folder inside my-app).
4- Hit enter.
That should remove all content from A_folder folder.
Hope that helps.
I guess you are not using the Git Bash terminal but the normal command prompt.
Do try the same on the Git Bash terminal and you would not face this error anymore.
first, install linux clients for windows, I use Ubunto LTS
then install node.js and run your command again.
here, you find good instructions to do it so, as well as how to install cool new Windows Terminal
you should add
"remove-build": "rmdir /s /q build",
"create-build": "mkdir build",
"clean": "npm run remove-build && npm run create-build",
in package.json
