Hello,

Installing the official git release for Windows will also install the git-bash.exe shell. Rather than an emulation layer, I believe this is bash plus lots of the standard Linux tools which have been compiled directly for Windows (it seems to be based off the Mingw-w64 project).

Within this shell, it mounts the Windows C: drive as /c and converts all the Windows paths to their Bash equivalents. For example my PATH right now looks something like this:

/c/Users/tobyj/bin:/mingw64/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/mingw64/b
in:/usr/bin:/c/ProgramData/Oracle/Java/javapath:/c/Windows/system32:/c/
Windows:/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/c/Program Files/MariaDB 10.1/bin:/c/P
rogram Files (x86)/Yarn/bin:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl

I downloaded the Windows version of direnv (direnv.windows-amd64.exe) and put it in a folder in my path. Then I added eval "$(direnv hook bash)" to my .bashrc. However when I create an .envrc and try either PATH_add node_modules/.bin or export PATH=$PWD/node_modules/.bin:$PATH, it appears that direnv is converting my $PATH to use Windows-style paths instead:

C:\devs\myproj\node_modules\.bin;C:\Users\tobias.johnson\bin;C:\Progr
am Files\Git\mingw64\bin;

Is there a way to get the Windows .exe to use Bash-style paths and not try to convert them? Or is there a config setting I need to change to get this behavior?
