Windows Git Shell

[zachio]

I use Git Shell for Windows as a part of my work flow. I confirmed the lua folder path was added to the windows environmental PATH variables however I could not get lua to work with Git Shell. Does anyone know how to do this?

Here are the steps to configure a Lua alias on Windows using Git Bash:

1. Open Git Bash.
2. Check if the .bash_profile file exists. If it does, open it. If it doesn't exist, create a new .bash_profile file.
3. In the .bash_profile file, add a line to map the lua command to lua.exe.
4. Save and close the .bash_profile file.
5. Reload the .bash_profile file.

Here's a complete step-by-step guide and code example:

# Open Git Bash

# Check if .bash_profile file exists

ls ~/.bash_profile

# If the .bash_profile file exists, open it
vim ~/.bash_profile

# Add the following line in the .bash_profile file
alias lua='lua.exe'

# Save and close the .bash_profile file
:wq

# Reload the .bash_profile file
source ~/.bash_profile
