Embed Git bash in PyCharm as external tool and work with it in PyCharm window (windows xp)

git intellij-idea pycharm windows-xp git-bash

File -> settings -> terminal -> shell path

Paste this if you have a 32-bit installation of Git:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login

Or this for 64-bit installation:

"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login

The quotes are important: if you don't specify them you'll get an error because the path contains spaces.

If you encounter java.io.IOException: Couldn't create PTY, check that:

git intellij-idea pycharm windows-xp git-bash

Configure the Terminal to use bash.exe or sh.exe from Git installation like this:

"c:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login

Use Tools | Open Terminal... (or click on the Terminal tool window) then run your git command in the Terminal tool window.

git intellij-idea pycharm windows-xp git-bash

You must add to PATH variable

;C:\Program Files\Git\bin

And open terminal in idea.
