Description
- OS version and name: Windows 10
- Hyper.app version: 3.4.1 (stable)
Issue
In the .hyper file, it is written that Git Bash can be used with Hyper by setting
// Git-bash on Windows
// - Example: `C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe`
However, I would like to use the SDK version of Git Bash (that allows to install additional packages with pacman) but it seems that Hyper cannot run with it. I have correctly set the path to the new bash executable:
shell: 'C:\\git-sdk-64\\git-bash.exe'
Hyper opens up and then suddenly closes. What executable should I run instead ?

Research direction
Start with the .hyper shell setting and compare the documented C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe example with C:\git-sdk-64\git-bash.exe from the Git for Windows SDK release. Reproduce the immediate close on Windows 10 with Hyper 3.4.1; done means identifying a launchable SDK executable or documenting that the SDK is unsupported.
