Several years back, I wrote a utility to create a "Bash Here" prompt
similar to the "Command Prompt Here" WinXP powertoy, but I really
didn't have any way of sharing it with others.

It doesn't really bundle in to a package, nor is it something that
would be included with the DLL, so I'm not clear on how else to
contribute this.

If anyone would like to look at it, I've hosted it on my Google Drive
at https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9Lha7Y9_doHUENLV3ZDV0JHS3M

The chere package already does this.  Any advantages to your utility?

Possibly not.  Mine certainly isn't bundled up as nicely.  It was just
a Q&D hack I put together eons ago.

Mine allows you to right-click on both the folder and the drive
letter.  I wasn't aware of chere, so I've tried installing it today.
I'm not seeing the context menus in Explorer in my Win7 VM, so I can't
tell if it does the same thing.

Mine does have the vulnerability if the bhere.bat file is
deleted/missing from c:\cygwin, it will produce an error.

I use chere on Windows 7 and I get a context menu in Windows/Explorer (which
is what I thought it was intended to do). I don't know why you're not seeing that.

For the archives:

For a while, I had chere installed but it had mysteriously stop showing up
in the context menu.  (It wasn't clear what had changed.  Reinstalling
didn't fix it.  And it appeared that the registry entries were OK.)  I got
similar functionality via the SendTo menu.  I put a shortcut into my
SendTo folder:
    C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo\
The target was:
    C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -e /bin/xhere /bin/bash.exe "%L"
It would open the containing folder for the highlighted file or folder.

BTW, chere started working again when they gave me a new box.
