Request to try out mintty as a potential default terminal for Julia on Windows

Tooling

What I did was:

  1. Download binaries from the linked comment (from this repo).
  2. cd to the folder
  3. if julia is added to PATH, start julia with: mintty julia

You can specify the full path for both programs:

path-to-mintty\mintty path-to-julia\julia

I had some problems with using cd() in julia (described in my issue comment), and it did not work when I started from git bash, only from command prompt.
