title: cygwin + console2: running cygwin bash with startup dir
body: <p>I am using Console2 as a bash wrapper on Windows. Most importantly, it enables me to start up a new bash tab in a predefined project directory.</p>
  
  <p>Now I would like to replace the Windows command line by a Cygwin bash. However, the "Startup Dir" setting in Console2 is not respected by Cygwin.</p>
  
  <p>Basically, I see three solution approaches:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Figure out <strong>how the Console2 setting has to look like</strong> so that the Cygwin bash respects it</li>
  <li>Add a <strong>startup parameter</strong> to the Cygwin bash, setting the startup directory</li>
  <li>Automatically <strong>run a script after bash startup</strong> that changes the directory</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Searching around in Cygwin's documentation and the rest of the Internet, I could not find a solution to any of those approaches. I could imagine that the solution is trivial to someone else, though. :)</p>
