Additional Notes

• #2788
• #2816

Note 2: Cmder is in the process of dropping 32-bit support of x86 edition when the upstream projects (such as Git-for-Windows) do so. In the next major releases of Cmder, the minimum Windows requirement will be bumped from Windows 7 SP1 to Windows 10, as well. For more information about Windows 7 support, visit here.

📌 Did you know Cmder also works with Windows Terminal? If you'd like to receive an official Cmder release with WT, please submit your vote here.

Full Changelog: v1.3.19...v1.3.20

Regression

Main issues: #2771, #2785, #2787

Due to an issue with the CI build system/packing files in the Cmder Full edition, some files (git-prompt.sh and cmder.sh) are missing from the %cmder_root%\vendor\git-for-windows\etc\profile.d directory.

This will cause the following problems when using the git/bash shell in Cmder:

• The user_profile.sh and git-prompt.sh files are not sourced
• The git details will not be displayed in the prompt in bash

The issue has been already resolved in the master branch, so you can either place the missing files in the corresponding directory manually, or download the latest unreleased build (the first item in the list of builds). In order to place the files manually without downloading the latest build, please refer to the issues mentioned above.

The other shells (Clink and PowerShell) are not affected by this issue.
