scoop installed git bash: “Open Git Bash” here context menu
I have installed git via Scoop on Windows 10 x64.
Using the detailed instruction from this answer I created my own reg script, to add a "Open Git Bash" command in the context menu of Windows Explorer, for my own user:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_USERSuser-sidSoftwareClasses*shellOpen Git Bash]
@="Open Git Bash"
"Icon"="C:\Users\fritzmg\scoop\shims\git-bash.exe"
[HKEY_USERSuser-sidSoftwareClasses*shellOpen Git Bashcommand]
@=""C:\Users\fritzmg\scoop\shims\git-bash.exe" "--cd=%1""
; This will make it appear when you right click ON a folder
; The "Icon" line can be removed if you don't want the icon to appear
[HKEY_USERSuser-sidSoftwareClassesDirectoryshellbash]
@="Open Git Bash"
"Icon"="C:\Users\fritzmg\scoop\shims\git-bash.exe"
[HKEY_USERSuser-sidSoftwareClassesDirectoryshellbashcommand]
@=""C:\Users\fritzmg\scoop\shims\git-bash.exe" "--cd=%1""
; This will make it appear when you right click INSIDE a folder
; The "Icon" line can be removed if you don't want the icon to appear
[HKEY_USERSuser-sidSoftwareClassesDirectoryBackgroundshellbash]
@="Open Git Bash"
"Icon"="C:\Users\fritzmg\scoop\shims\git-bash.exe"
[HKEY_USERSuser-sidSoftwareClassesDirectoryBackgroundshellbashcommand]
@=""C:\Users\fritzmg\scoop\shims\git-bash.exe" "--cd=%v.""
However, there are two problems with this:
1. Icon does not work
The icon within the context menu does not work:
May be this is more of a scoop issue. I am not sure how scoop creates those shims.
2. Two git bash windows open
When I actually use the context menu option, two git bash windows open:
One with the actual git bash, and one that just says "git-bash.exe". Closing either window closes both windows.
Of course I'd like to have it as if I had downloaded and installed git directly from https://git-scm.com/download/win . May be someone has any insights on how to alleviate those issues?

The shim.exe doesn't have an icon, so it can't be displayed.
In this case, it's recommended to use the current version path. (e.g. ~scoopappsgitcurrentgit-bash.exe)
Change the icon path to:
[HKEY_USERSuser-sidSoftwareClassesDirectoryBackgroundshellbash]
@="Open Git Bash"
"Icon"="C:\Users\fritzmg\scoop\apps\git\current\git-bash.exe"
