How To Launch Git Bash from DOS Command Line?

If you want to launch from a batch file:

for x86

start "" "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login

for x64

start "" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login

windows git batch-file cmd command

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "full Git Bash environment", but I get the nice prompt if I do

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

In PowerShell

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

The --login switch makes the shell execute the login shell startup files.

windows git batch-file cmd command

I prefer to use git-bash.exe instead of sh.exe.

start "" "%ProgramFiles%\Git\git-bash.exe" -c "tail -f /c/Windows/win.ini"

You can stop closing the window when call /usr/bin/bash --login -i in the end;

start "" "%ProgramFiles%\Git\git-bash.exe" -c "echo 1 && echo 2 && /usr/bin/bash --login -i"

Note: I'm not sure this is a good way :)
