Autojump: Please support git-bash (msysgit)

It would be nice if support for this was added.

I'd be more than happy to accept pull requests. However due to lack of time and access to a Windows I can't add support myself.

I've opened a PR which adds support for git bash. Some output that shows it working:

Upon installation, it displays the /unix/like/path for sourcing in ~/.bashrc.

@wting I think it's awesome that @azriel91 contributed some code, as you suggested. What's the next step?

This works with git bash on windows, is the PR going to be accepted?

What is the status of this feature?
Seems people would like the PR to be accepted thus we can use autojump in Git-Bash

"I'm not sure" is the best answer I can give – it was working 2 years ago when I first pushed, and last year based on the comments.

I rebased over master recently as it had about 46 commits ahead and force pushed, but I hadn't tested it completely from scratch this time. That's because I broke my python autojump by mixing it with this Rust autojump, and fixed it by hand (i.e. hacked my bashrc).

I guess it warrants a full retest, but it would take me a while to get to it (need to break my computer again, and I don't want to do that juust yet)

@wting when is this going to be actioned if at all? It seems like the PR's been open for a while now.

Hey, just installed from your branch, and it's working like a charm for me. Hopefully it gets merged in! The only thing I notice is that things like:

C:\users\nsnyder\this-directory

Show up like:

C:\users
snyder   his-directory

It looks like the \ needs to be escaped to render properly, but that's just a cosmetic issue.
