Which directory should custom git bash scripts be saved to in windows so that they can be called from...
I am learning how to use git bash for Windows and I want to start writing scripts to automate some of the git tasks I do. But where should I store the .sh files so that I can call them from any directory in git bash? Is there a standard directory they should be saved in?
At the minute I have to include a path to where the .sh file is. What I want is that when I am in git bash I can call the script just like I would any git command i.e. without a path.

You can run them from anywhere that the script has permissions to. I typically put my scripts in 'c:scripts'.

You could edit your Path environment variable to include the folder to your scripts. Start --> Right click Computer --> Properties --> Advanced System Settings --> Environment Variables.
It is a System variable on Windows 7; separate each path with a semicolon.
After that, reload the command prompt and it should work.
