title: How To Launch Git Bash from Windows Command Line?
body: <p>I've got what I'm hoping is a simple question, but I haven't been able to find the answer yet.  I would like to launch Git Bash from a Windows batch file.  Here is what I tried so far:</p>
  <ol>
  <li><p>Launched Git Bash from Win 7 Start button</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>Used CTRL+ALT+DEL to identify the process as &quot;sh.exe&quot;</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>Launched sh.exe from batch file using start command</p>
  <pre><code> start sh.exe
  </code></pre>
  </li>
  </ol>
  <p>However, this does not launch the full Git Bash environment.  Git Bash usually has &quot;MINGW32&quot; in the title bar, but sh.exe has a full path to ... <code>Git\bin\sh.exe</code>.  It feels to me like there are some overlays or dependencies that I'm not aware of possibly, that also need to be loaded (pulled in? imported?).</p>
  <p>This was one of the top results I found through searching the web, but it doesn't make complete sense to me and I'm not sure if it applies exactly to my situation:</p>
