When running in my current environment (git bash for Windows) the script was failing with the following message: ```sh $ ges /c/Users/user-name/git/github/git-extra-status/bin/ges: line 1: ../src/git-extra-status.sh: No such file or directory ``` This was because the relative path in the running script was being inherited from the shell's pwd, not of the script itself.
Without this, running `ges` with a dir name(s) as args would not be able to be read by the .sh scripts and would cause the command to silently fail

When running in my current environment (git bash for Windows) the script
was failing with the following message:

I also added something to proxy, or forward, args from a executed bin script to the src shell scripts. Without this, I was unable to run
ges *orges repo-nameor anything other thangessince the args were being dropped.
