Fixing Warp's Windows Path Space Issue | Generated by AI

That’s a Warp Windows validation issue — it doesn’t accept paths with spaces directly in the shell command field.

Fix: quote the path or use the short path form

Try these in order:

Option 1: Quoted path

"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe" --login -i

Option 2: Use forward slashes (MSYS style)

C:/Program Files/Git/bin/bash.exe --login -i

Option 3: 8.3 short path (always works)

C:\PROGRA~1\Git\bin\bash.exe --login -i

Verify your 8.3 path first — run this in PowerShell:

cmd /c "for %I in ("C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe") do echo %~sI"

Option 4: Use cmd /c as a wrapper

cmd /c "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe" --login -i

Option 5: Point to git-cmd.exe shim

C:\Program Files\Git\git-cmd.exe --command=usr/bin/bash.exe --login -i

Also worth checking: Warp on Windows is still relatively new and Git Bash support is rough. If none of these save, the practical move is WSL2 as your default profile — zero friction, full Linux, and Warp’s shell integration works perfectly with it.
