How to launch Git Bash inside the NppExec Console

Question

The NppExec Console supports running the Windows command shell within the console by simply running cmd within the console. Is there a way to launch Git Bash inside the NppExec Console?

Answer 1

Looks like git bash is always started in its own console window. For example, if you start cmd.exe and type e.g.

"C:\Program Files\Git\git-bash.exe"

in it, you'll see the git bash is started in its own console window anyway (even though cmd itself has a console window). Basing on that, you can start git bash from NppExec's Console, but it will be running in its own console window.
