It's not Cygwin, it's bash setting HOME when run as login shell. If you wish, you can force that setting in ~/.profile or otherwise manipulate the environment prior to starting mintty. I, for one, prefer my $HOME match my real profile home. Don't see the reason to spread my stuff thin across the filesystem. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Tuesday, March 27, 2018 12:57:18 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
