Since then I have always wished team viewer would notify my cellphone every time someone connected or disconnected from my workstation, since I am the only user that connects to it I find the peace of mind extremely valuable and I wouldn’t mind getting some push notifications each time I used TeamViewer.

As TeamViewer themselves don’t have this feature I decided to write my own little program that will  send instant notifications to any phone for anyone connecting to your workstation using TeamViewer. Say hello to go-TValerts!

I have released my code as open source, written instructions on how to install and implement it. Find out more at github.com/TheLinuxGuy/go-tvalerts

The problem I recently encountered was trying to find the executable PATH of the git-bash.exe so that I can configure my Webstorm IDE to use it. All the documentation on the internet seems to point to C:/Program Files/Git folder but Github may have changed this as in the latest release I downloaded (v 3.3.3.0) the files reside elsewhere and I will share where to find them.

To find your git-bash.exe path try the following:

1. Open File Explorer and put %AppData% in the address bar, hit enter.
2. It should redirect to something like:  C:\Users\Giovanni\AppData\Roaming
3. Now change folders from Roaming to Local
4. You should now be at: C:\Users\Giovanni\AppData\Local 
5. Find the Github folder, enter it.
6. You should see a list of files and folders, we care about “PortableGit” it has a longer name that just PortableGit, so enter it.
7. You will see git-bash.exe in there.
8. Go back into Webstorm > Settings > Terminal
9. Set your terminal to this new path, in my case: “C:\Users\Giovanni\AppData\Local\GitHub\PortableGit_d7effa1a4a322478cd29c826b52a0c118ad3db11\git-bash.exe”

You’re all set! Webstorm should now be able to launch Github Desktop’s git-bash.exe as the terminal, no additional software required.

There is a gotcha: the terminal window will open separate from Webstorm window, if you want a tab under your code then I suggest to download and install git for windows in addition to Github Desktop.https://git-for-windows.github.io/
