What is the difference? .bat extension? Afaik twig-gettext-extractor.bat is not part of this project.

Mainly yes. Without the .bat extension it doesn't work. I don't know if Poedit should resolve hte <project> tag depending on the path in which I am saving the .po file or not. I guess it does not. Therefore I think it is better to write a fake path, in this way users of this fantastic project can start using it faster without trying multiple times the Poedit configuration.

So you renamed twig-gettext-extractor to twig-gettext-extractor.bat? This is odd, because it's PHP file.
I find your path confusing also because it refers to non existing bat file.
No, it does not replace it, but we can write explanation below:
Replace <project> with absolute path to your project.
I appreciate your efforts to make things clear for windows users, I'm just afraid not to confuse them with referring to non existing path/file.

Yeah, you are right! IT can be confusing somehow. But please add the line specifying that the project tag will not be replaced by Poedit!
I have just added the bat extension.
In my Windows environment I couldn't set up Poedit with the README.md values provided, this line could have saved me an hour.
