Open Visual Studio from within Git bash
Solution 1:
It works for me, when I put single quotes around the path and use git path syntax. I just dragged devenv into the console to get the path and hit enter.
'/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2017/Community/Common7/IDE/devenv.exe'
Solution 2:
I added an alias to my ~/.profile
file:
alias studio='"/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2019/Enterprise/Common7/IDE/devenv.exe"'
So I can easily open any solution from the shell:
$ studio MySolution.sln &
The &
at the end sends the Visual Studio process to background so that the shell does not get blocked by Visual Studio and Visual Studio won't be ended when I close the shell window.
