Running a .bat file as a command on Windows 10?












1















I have the following in build-site.bat:



set JEKYLL_ENV=production 
bundle exec jekyll build


I'd like to have the bat file residing in my documents area under a folder say scripts. I'd then like to be able to cd into a Github repo, and type build-site and have the bat run.



Is this possible?



Thanks!

          Add your scripts directory the PATH of your environment. Afterwards stuff that's within your PATH will be available the way you want.



          As for how to change the PATH have a look at:





          • Is there a convenient way to edit PATH in Windows 7? on Super User


          • How can I modify a user’s PATH environment variable without logging out? on Server Fault


          There are plenty more resources available.
