This is in contrast to > the shell, where you usually start git gui in a working directory. It would be nice to install an entry in the explorer menu to run git-gui in a selected directory. It can be done by just writing something like to the registry (completely untested -- I just looked it up on the internet): [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\Git Gui] @=3D"Git Gui" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\Git Gui\command] @=3D"git --git-dir=3D%L gui" (The directory is passed in %L, but git --git-gui=3D"dir" gui seems to work= , at least on Linux. It needs absolute path, but you'll have that.) --=20 Jan 'Bulb' Hudec --i9LlY+UWpKt15+FH Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHGgPHRel1vVwhjGURAvfQAJ4pxypHuc741WfJAOX2HYjur24BKACgyasp I66588onRNAz+/dVq5bRNEo= =vDkG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --i9LlY+UWpKt15+FH--
