ConEmu

Basic usage

ConEmu -single -cmd COMMAND -new_console:P:PALETTE -new_console:t:TABNAME
  • -cmd COMMAND: execute COMMAND with ConEmu. COMMAND here can be a "ConEmu task" such as "{GitBash}"
  • -new_console:P:PALETTE: specify the PALETTE, such as <xterm>
  • -new_console:t:TABNAME: specify the tab name showing on ConEmu
  • -new_console:a: run as admin

Example:

ConEmu64.exe -single -cmd C:\git\git-bash.bat -new_console:P:<xterm> -new_console:t:GIT
ConEmu64.exe -single -cmd {GitBash} -new_console:P:<xterm> -new_console:t:GIT

For some reason the argument -new_console will not be processed if ConEmu64 window does not already exist. In order for the -new_console to work for the first tab, it is recommended to create a "ConEmu task" and add -new_console as part of the task.
