ConEmu | Customizable Windows terminal with tabs splits | Command Line Interface library

I fixed it by going to the actual file location of script.js and running the node command with that path. Like this:

node AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/postinstall/script.js

Actually that only helped a little bit. The problem was I was trying to install Angular using ConEmu GitBash and I should've been using cmd.

nohup should solve the original problem by detaching the ssh-agent process from its terminal.

Try this in the wrapper script:

• Create a new startup directory with a new .zshrc that (a) sources the existing profile, and (b) runs aliases based on an environment variable set before starting the shell.
• Start each shell (tab) by setting ZDOTDIR, RUN_ALIAS, and execing zsh -li
• Run these through the wsl.exe command
• Set a ConEmu startup file to run the appropriate commands

Assumptions: I'm going to assume you really do want these to be aliases. If you want to run other arbitrary scripts/commands, you can still do it, but it will require a slight change to the instructions. I've summarized the changes needed in-line below.

There are several techniques you could use to keep the shell running, but the ones suggested in this question require you to either:

• Create a nested shell, which is not ideal.
• Or modify your existing ~/.zshrc to "special case" a launch with your command. It's a neat trick, but I'm not a fan of changes to the default startup files when they can be avoided. That said, it's much easier. If you want to go this route, I'll add some info at the bottom of this answer on how to do it.

But the ~/.zshrc solution got me thinking. If you want to run any arbitrary command at startup, and yet keep the shell running, the answer is .zshrc. You just need to have a different .zshrc that you use for the "special case".

bash has the --rcfile option to select the file to run at startup, but the zsh equivalent is a bit trickier, as it involves setting $ZDOTDIR and changing the location from which zsh reads its startup (from this answer).

So to start, let's create a config directory for your "run an alias" config:

This will do the needful:

Checking System.getenv("ANSICON") seems to be fine.

From your comment : something (some script or some other process) is setting the assume-unchanged flag on each of your files.

You may look into your .git/hooks directory (also check git config core.hooksPath to see if you have a custom hooks directory configured), or some other script/task that would pass on all the files in your repo.

If you really don't have a clue about what might be causing this : use grep -e "assume-unchanged" -r . (to try to spot a script which would run update-index --assume-unchanged), first in your repo, then in your home dir, in last resort from / ...

namely because now mycommand's stderr is only being displayed after I exit my app

How to have stdout and stderr to both console and file, having red stderr lines and "stdout and stderr being displayed as they are being produced" (See Fig.1)?

Both stderr and stdout of your program become block buffered when the output is not a terminal. stdout is block buffered because mycommand is not outputting to the terminal and seds output is not a terminal and it's outputting stderr, so stderr becomes also block buffered. Configure your program to configure it's stdout/stderr to be line buffered, or you could potentially set initial buffering with stdbuf -oL -eL and use sed -u or stdbuf -oL sed.

How to get the EXIT_CODE value outside the function body?

1. Create a temporary file.
2. Write $EXIT_CODE to a temporary file.
3. Read that file.

or return the exit code from your function and use PIPESTATUS as you did.

Run the file as an administrator. Sometimes depending on security policies and group policies administrator access is required when changing environment variables.
