Unix in Cmder

I accidentally backed out of the unix environment in cmder and now it displays the typical C:\ directories. Maybe it's getting late, but I don't remember how I set this up in the first place! Does anyone know how I can toggle back into it? I miss the $~!

That definitely helped! Looks like all I need to do is route the root path to my msysgit folder and run Git Bash from there. Thank you!

Hi Joshua, Had you installed Git on your windows PC?

Hey Winnie, I have everything installed and was running git for a few weeks but never actually exited out of it until now. I believe I was running 'msysgit' and that's what I exited out of losing all of my Unix commands.

I can't seem to find any commands on google to get 'msysgit' running again.
