Create a Command Line Prompt Script If you have installed [msysgit](http://msysgit.github.io/)), create `gi.cmd` with content below. And copy it to `C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\gi.cmd`, assuming `msysgit` was installed to `c:\Program Files\Git`. Make sure that `C:\Program Files\Git\cmd` is added to the environment variable `path`.

```bash
@rem Do not use "echo off" to not affect any child calls.
@setlocal

@rem Get the abolute path to the parent directory, which is assumed to be the
@rem Git installation root.
@for /F "delims=" %%I in ("%~dp0..") do @set git_install_root=%%~fI
@for /F "delims=" %%I in ("%~dp0..") do @set git_mingw_root=%%~fI\mingw
@if not exist "%git_mingw_root%" @set git_mingw_root=%git_install_root%\mingw64
@set PATH=%git_install_root%\bin;%git_mingw_root%\bin;%PATH%

@if not exist "%HOME%" @set HOME=%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%
