No Unix commands?

[venatiodecorus]

Hello,

I removed completely my old Cmder install and downloaded the latest version. Now I have no Unix commands such as git ls or ssh available to me. I just copy over files from the archive then run them and I get this behavior. I've confirmed there are no handles or running processes still using those files as well when I copy.

Unix commands come from git for windows. This can either be installed on your machine and included in your path, or is included as part of the 'cmder full' package.

If you do not have git installed on your machine, It may be that you have replaced your older version with 'cmder mini' (a version which does NOT include git and the accompanying tools). I would check again which version you downloaded.

I made sure to download the full version.

I have Git for Windows installed as well but I figured Cmder was supposed to use the msysgit tools that it is distributed with. When I echo %PATH% within cmder, I don't see the msysgit directory listed.

[rmorrin]

Do you have Git for Windows installed in some non-default location? It's normally found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Git or similar.

Cmder should check for an existing msysgit directory, and add it to the path if found.

If for some reason that check isn't happening, you could try to add it to your path manually.

[venatiodecorus]

Ok well I added the msysgit bin directory to my PATH manually and I guess that works. But also, cmder used to know that '~' corresponded to my user directory. Now when I do cd ~, it tells me The system cannot find the path specified. Am I crazy or did this used to work?

I think the problem is that git for windows 2.5 does not add unix commands to the path:

λ path
PATH=C:\Users\...\Dropbox\Programme\cmder\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\share\vim\vim74;[...];C:\Program Files\Git\cmd;[...];

λ dir "C:\Program Files\Git\bin"

17.08.2015  15:19            32.256 sh.exe

25.08.2015  12:07             3.031 start-ssh-agent.cmd

The unix commands are available in %GIT%\usr\bin:

I installed the "make git available in cmd" version.

On my installation I needed to change this line to make it work:
https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder/blob/development/vendor/init.bat#L83

- set "PATH=%PATH%;%GIT_INSTALL_ROOT%\usr\bin;%GIT_INSTALL_ROOT%\usr\share\vim\vim74"
+ set "PATH=%PATH%;%GIT_INSTALL_ROOT%\bin;%GIT_INSTALL_ROOT%\usr\bin;%GIT_INSTALL_ROOT%\usr\share\vim\vim74"

λ git --version
git version 1.9.5.msysgit.0

Did you try any other commands. I doubt 'bc' is a part of git-for-windows. On April 8, 2018 8:04:26 AM kavyarangaiah <notifications@github.com> wrote: Basic calculator...
