What’s the easiest way to set mingw’s console startup directory? I only use mingw for compiling. but due to the lack of editors or even symlinks I am confused how to tell mingw console to come up in a different directory rather than regular home dir.
It would also be helpful if someone knows how to place "real" symlinks to ntfs drives like cygwin can do. mingw copies the content and that is useless when working on a subversion dir.
I am a lazy guy, and i find it painful to do the cd /c/Documents/USER/…/Project all the time :>
Use mount points instead of symlinks. mingw doesn’t support ntfs symlinks (they’re rather new anyway), but mount points are okay for most use cases (such as simple access to the directory you’re working in outside mingw).
And the easiest way to set a new default directory is probably using a
.bashrcin the home directory thatcds to the desired directory.
