Change ConEmu directory to working directory with Git bash

Question

I'm currently using the following to open a Git bash instance:

-new_console:"%ProgramFiles%\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i

This starts a new tab in the home directory.

I'd like it to start the tab in whatever directory my current tab is in.

Something like the following:

-new_console:d:[%CURRENT_DIR%]"%ProgramFiles%\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i

So if I'm currently in:

> ~/Somedir/SomeOtherDir/

Then I open a tab (perhaps with a macro), I'd like the new tab to start in:

> ~/Somedir/SomeOtherDir/ (i.e., the same directory)

In other words, what command would I place in the following dialog in order to open a new tab which starts in the directory of my current tab? (The command below opens a new tab in the home directory)

I'm still new to ConEmu (but really enjoying the tabs and customization), so any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

You may run the following in your gitbash prompt

ConEmuC -c -new_console sh.exe -l -i

But that requires both ConEmuC.exe and sh.exe are available via %PATH%.

And, please note, that the your first command is useless. It can be working only by lucky chance.

-new_console:"%ProgramFiles%\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i

The -new_console does not get shell path (root executable) as argument, it is intended only for specifying special parameters for new ConEmu's console creation.
