How to add a “open git-bash here…” context menu to the windows explorer?

Question

How to add a context (aka right click) menu to the windows explorer that, when clicked, opens the git-bash console in the current explorer folder?

Answer 1

Had a similar issue in adding "Start Command Prompt with Ruby" to context menu as it involves passing parameters along with the patch of cmd. Followed a similar procedure as the solution above

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

@="\"C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe\" \"/E:ON /K
