(UPDATE: The dependent PR is merged and updated in pixi dependencies, this PR is ready for review/merge now) This depends on the PR conda/rattler#1392 for the bash shell hook to work correctly on Windows.

Create a function start_winbash for running bash on Windows that launches bash using the command:

$ bash --init-file <temp-shell-hook> -i

Here's an example output where I've built pixi against the rattler PR rebased to an older rattler commit that is compatible with the pixi main branch:

mw@Home MINGW64 /c/Dev/pixi (win-git-bash)
$ echo $PATH
/c/Users/mw/bin:/mingw64/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/mingw64/bin:/usr/bin:/c/Users/mw/bin:...

$ ./target/debug/pixi.exe shell
