I have a folder for my .bat and .sh files.
This folder is part of my PATH. I can run the .bat files without any problems using the command prompt. But I can't run the .sh files with git bash.
I have made the scripts executable, and if I'm in the folder where the scripts are then I can run them with ./myScript.sh for example, without any trouble.
If I echo the PATH variable I git bash shows that the scripts folder is included.
If I run which myScript.sh I get /c/opt/scripts/myScript.sh
So what am I missing?

Also, I'd really like to run it with just myScript instead of ./myScript.sh is that possible?

Find the .bashrc file. In my case it was in C:\Program Files\Git\etc and it was actually called bash.bashrc

In the bottom of that file I added the following:

alias myScript=\'/c/opt/scripts/./myScript.sh\'

This solved both my issues. I can now run the script from anywhere simply by typing myScript

just in case if you do not know: the reason of such behavior is securuty, so writing ./ prefix is really saying "yes, I want to run it, please first look up in current folder", so suppressing a search in PATH.
