Git Setup - Terminal Emulator For Git Bash

I'm running git 2.8.1 Setup, I want to be careful with this since I will be developing mobile apps. I'm at the part where it's asking 'Which terminal emulator do you want to use w

Solution 1:

In my opinion, you should use MinTTY regardless of other stuff. Even MiTTY has no advantage, windows' default console window('cmd') has lots of disadvantages. cmd has a very limited default history scroll-back stack and terrible font encoding and so forth. By contrast, MinTTY has resizeable window and other useful configurable options that could be open through right-click on toolbar of git-bash.

Solution 2:

First choice will not add git commands to your PATH environment variable, you need open a MSYS2 terminal to execute git in terminal.

For second choice, you can use git commands in your windows default console.

Beside, the most different matter I think is that, windows' default console use \ as path separator, MSYS2 use /.
