Installed conemu and cygwin and everything works near flawlessly. A keyboard shortcut for literally everything.
However, might anyone know how to change my default home directory when using cygwin if it's at all possible. Or must I "cd c:/" every time? Thanks.
Also, post your command environments.
Why should I use this instead of the default mintty in Cygwin?

Well I installed it and it's pretty nice! I've been looking for some alternatives to mintty lately so this is helpful.

I've located my conemu.xml file but cant seem to figure out how to change colors for different file types when listing a directory.
If you find a way, please post. Cheers!

Isn't it literally just a different default config of conemu?

What do you mean?

when I type
>cd ~
it goes to C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\home\
but I want it to go to c:\users\

>>51304532
it does this, not sure what to type after.
Sorry, I'm very very new command line.
>>51304581
what happens when you cd into c:\users\ desu?
>>51304619
im not sure what you are asking here
>>51304638
What does this do?cd c:\users\
>>51304658
OOH I found the problem. When I have a trailing slash at the end it jumps to a new line with a leading ">" but if no slash it enters the command
I tried
>HOME="c:\users" cd ~
but it didnt change anything when I pwd

Oh yeah I forgot that the backslash does escaping :^)
Oh well I'm not sure how you'd do it
it works perfectly on my mac thought :%)

conemu on a mac?
also wince i've installed cygwin my command promt no longer cares whether I use forward or backward slashes for file directory unless of course if its strictly cygwin, if that makes sense
Do you know how to give attributes and file types different colors?

>>51304850
no just regular bash on a mac
>>51304852
trying this now, thank you!
>>51304723
set home to /cygdrive/c/Users/VLAD
done
IIRC, this has some issues regarding Cygwin's Unix permissions handling though.
