This repo help me use shell script file to setup the enviroment for msys2.

Usage

Please follow these steps to setup the enviroment for msys2.

1. Use the command to upgrade the system.

pacman -Syu

2. The terminal will automatically close if msys2 finish upgrading. Now, please use the same command to continue upgrading.

pacman -Syu

3. Use the shell script file in this repo to setup the enviroment.

sh setup.sh

4. Restart the msys2 terminal.

Setup for right-click context menu

In order to run msys2 terminal here from the right-click context menu, we can need do something to setup. You can select one of the ways to setup:

1. Edit Registry by regedit.exe
2. Use the .reg files.

Using regedit.exe

We use these steps to use regedit.exe to setup:

1. Click keys WIN + R, and then launch regedit.exe.
2. Reach to the path HKEY_CLASS_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell.
3. Click mouse right button on shell, and then select New>Key. Name this key MSYS2.
4. Click mouse right button on MSYS2, and then select New>Key. Name this key command.
5. Select command and then double click (Default). We suppose msys2 installed in C:\, so set the Value data of (Default) to "C:\msys64\msys2_shell.cmd" "-here".

If you want to run mingw64terminal on here, you can create the key mingw64 in HKEY_CLASS_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell. Of course, mingw64 also need create the key command, but Value data of (Default) in command must set "C:\msys64\msys2_shell.cmd" "-here" "-mingw64".

Using .reg files

The directory regedit_files has .reg files. We can double click each .reg file in the directory to setup.
