Git Bash

• Download Fira Code fonts from here. Extract the zip, select all .ttf files in the ttf directory, then right-click 'Install for all users'.
• Transfer the following files over to your Windows user directory:
  • .mintyrc for git bash settings
  • .bash_profile & .bashrc for bash aliases
  • .gitconfig for git aliases

Then run:

cd
touch .bash_profile # if one is not there
touch .bashrc

For color highlighting in grep, add the following to .bashrc

alias grep="grep --color=auto"
alias fgrep="fgrep --color=auto"
alias egrep="egrep --color=auto"
