How to run two instances of GitBash on Windows 8?
git-bash, github, ruby, ruby-on-rails
Solution
Once you have a GitBash tile in the taskbar, click it while holding Shift to open additional instances.
Problem
so I'm going through the onemonthrails online classes, however I've run into a problem. Unlike when using a Mac, It's not possible to create a separate 'tab' to continue working whilst the rails server is running or in general. So I've tried just opening another GitBash window like the tutorial suggests, from the programs/apps menu in Windows 8 (whilst the other one is running) but no luck. Apologies if this is a dumb questions, but am I missing something obvious?
