How to run git bash scripts on windows startup
To run Git Bash scripts on Windows startup, you can follow these steps:
Create a batch file (.bat) that will execute your Git Bash script. Open a text editor and create a new file with a
.bat
extension, for example,run_git_script.bat
.Inside the batch file, add the following command to run your Git Bash script using the
bash
command:batch@echo off
cd C:\path\to\your\git\repository
bash script.sh
Replace
C:\path\to\your\git\repository
with the actual path to your Git repository, andscript.sh
with the name of your Git Bash script.Save the batch file in a location of your choice.
Press
Win + R
to open the "Run" dialog box, then typeshell:startup
and press Enter. This will open the Startup folder for the current user.Copy the batch file (
run_git_script.bat
) into the Startup folder. This will ensure that the batch file runs every time the user logs in to Windows.
Now, when you start Windows, the batch file will be executed, which in turn will run your Git Bash script using the bash
command.
Note that the above instructions assume that Git Bash is already installed on your Windows machine and added to the system's PATH environment variable. If Git Bash is not installed or not accessible via the command line, you may need to adjust the paths accordingly or install Git Bash before following these steps.
Also, make sure that the Git repository and the Git Bash script are properly set up and functional. Test the script manually to ensure that it runs as expected before configuring it to run on startup.
Keep in mind that running scripts on startup may have security implications, so make sure to review and test your script thoroughly to ensure it behaves as intended and does not pose any risks to your system.
