The bash shell that comes with Git for Windows is the best terminal on Windows. https://git-for-windows.github.io/

I'm actually using the bash that's bundled with git-for-windows as the shell in Hyper and it works great.

Just kind of pointed it to that bash for easy switch and didn't really see a reason to try and find anything else.

May I ask what your launch options are? I've spend hours trying to wire up these two without success...
Yeah, the only thing I changed is the `shell` key in the .hyper.js file to point directly to the bash.exe that's bundled with git for windows.

    // the shell to run when spawning a new session (i.e. /usr/local/bin/fish)
    // if left empty, your system's login shell will be used by default
    shell: 'C:/Program Files/Git/bin/bash.exe',
If you want, here is a link to my full .hyper.js config, i haven't really done anything else except change the shell, font, font-size, and plugins.

Looks like I had been pointing at the wrong bash exe the whole time... Thanks!
