Yeah, I know, I know; you can use Bash on Ubuntu on Windows via WSL, but this article is specially for users using Windows 8.1 and below ...

I prefer mintty. Install zsh, oh-my-zsh, and powerlevel10k in msys2. Just set "LOGINSHELL=zsh" in msys2_shell.cmd file. You can also append Windows paths (environment) to MSYS2 environment.
good catch, but conemu/wezterm is better ;) but yeah, the correct way to start is
Instead of author’s "sh -login" and we need to modify msys2_shell.cmd to use zsh
Mintty is the default emulator for MSYS. It comes bundled with the installer and is installed along with MSYS base system. Of course it's a great choice!
After the step to "Authorize signing key", I get this error when I ran 'pacman Syyuu':
error: git-for-windows: signature from "Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>" is unknown trustHi. It seems the signatures have changed since writing the article.
Please see this: github.com/git-for-windows/git/wik...
Here I again, have to say that powerlevel10k works too slow and hangs sometimes completely. But 'starship' is a good alternative.
just add in .zshrc after installation
I successfully installed it using 'git for windows'. Need to start msys as
-use-full-path - means 'export full current PATH from environment into MSYS2', as mine win git was installed accordingly and available in win terminal by default without ‘git bash here’ (or how it’s named now).
So the whole setup becomes easier.
And change to
in msys2_shell.cmd file
