Gitify on Windows

How to run Gitify on Windows under Cygwin or Babun.

• You will need Composer
• Check you're unable to execute php in command line (you shouldn't have it in Windows PATH)

• Install Gitify by Quick install notes

git clone https://github.com/modmore/Gitify.git ~/Gitify
cd ~/Gitify
composer install
chmod +x Gitify

• Check if in your home dir exists bin directory, if not create it:

mkdir ~/bin

• In your .bashrc/.zshrc change PATH to:

export PATH="$PATH:~/bin/"

• Reload .bashrc or .zshrc

# source ~/.zshrc
source ~/.bashrc

• Into ~/bin folder add file php and update php variable:

php

#!/bin/bash
 
# change path to your PHP.exe
php="/cygdrive/c/UwAmp/bin/php/php-5.4.31/php.exe"
 
for ((n=1; n <= $#; n++)); do
    if [ -e "${!n}" ]; then
        # Converts Unix style paths to Windows equivalents
        path="$(cygpath --mixed ${!n} | xargs)"
 
        case 1 in
            $(( n == 1 )) )
                set -- "$path" "${@:$(($n+1))}";;
            $(( n < $# )) )
                set -- "${@:1:$((n-1))}" "$path" ${@:$((n+1)):$#};;
            *)
                set -- "${@:1:$(($#-1))}" "$path";;
        esac
    fi
done
 
"$php" "$@"
