Batch file to start up cygwin and bash

Put this file cw.bat in your scripts folder or somewhere on your path to easily fire up cygwin when needed:


@if not "%cygwin%"=="" goto ALREADY_SET 


@REM Set cygwin path here:
@SET cygwin=C:\cygwin\bin
@if exist %cygwin% set PATH=%cygwin%;%PATH%
@if not exist %cygwin% goto NOT_FOUND
@echo cygwin set up successful.
@goto END


:ALREADY_SET
@echo cygwin alredy set up.
@goto END


:NOT_FOUND
@echo cygwin path not found:
@echo %cygwin%
@goto END


:END


Also useful is this to start bash:


@echo off
C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin
bash --login -i
