I am trying to run a git bash file in Windows 7, 64-bit. The file is below. The command is:
git test-bash
When the command is entered, there is a pause of no more than a second, then the prompt returns. There is no output to the terminal and no file created. What am I doing wrong?
file git-test-bash:
#!/bin/bash
# start
printf "test-bash-printf"
echo "test-bash-echo"
echo "test-bash-echo-to_file" > /d/Users/joeuser/bin/file.txt
I just tested git-test-bash in a regular DOS session, or in a shell session (calling c:\prgs\git\PortableGit-2.5.1-64-bit\git-bash.exe).
It does work (except you might want to add '\n' in order to put the printf in its own line)
#!/bin/bash
# start
printf "test-bash-printf\n"
echo "test-bash-echo"
echo "test-bash-echo-to_file" > /C/Users/VonC/prog/file.txt
You only have to make sure %PATH% (meaning in DOS session) includes the folder where git-test-bash is.
Output:
C:\Users\vonc\prog\b2d>git test-bash
test-bash-printf
test-bash-echo
Or in bash shell session:
vonc@bigvonc MINGW64 ~/prog/b2d (master)
$ git test-bash
test-bash-printf
test-bash-echo
Try it with a recent git-for-windows though.
I used the latest 2.5.1.
git test-bash!=git-test-bashunless you are writing that as a git subcommand. Are you sure your script is being run? Where does the script live? What is the exit status ofgit test-bash?$?(see stackoverflow.com/questions/334879/…). If you append-xto the first line (#!/bin/bash -x) you get a trace of the issued commands and their result, which can be helpfull to debug the code.
