[SOLVED] How to open multiple ConEmu/CygWin Bash terminals at different directories

How to open multiple ConEmu/CygWin Bash terminals at different directories

I have a Windows environment set up using ConEmu and CygWin64 and I frequently have to open up four different Windows directories and run a script there to launch a server.

In total I have these four things running in order to have a local version of our environment operating.

Like so;

C:\code\project1\private-api
C:\code\project2\public-api
C:\code\project2\management-agent
C:\code\project3\back-office

So far I have just been manually opening new ConEmu/CygWin Bash tabs and navigating via command line to each directory I need then running the scripts. This is tedious though and I figure there must be a way to have ConEmu launch multiple CygWin Bash tabs in different, specific directories (and maybe even run a script in each directory) but I am at a loss as to how to accomplish this.

I considered trying to do this via a Windows batch script too but I couldn't figure out how to launch ConEmu/CygWin bash windows from a batch file. I'm thinking it's not possible.

I have followed the documentation for ConEmu Tasks but the docs for Task parameters and commands are still confusing me. I tried following the answer in this question as well with little success;

Anyway, here is how I have my current ConEmu CygWin Bash task set up, which works great when opening single tabs in my home directory (had to provide a link, I keep getting errors when trying to upload an image here);

ConEmu CygWin Bash Task config

Name

Bash::CygWin bash

Task parameters

None

Commands

set CHERE_INVOKING=1 & %ConEmuDrive%\cygwin64\bin\sh.exe --
login -i -new_console:C:"%ConEmuDrive%\cygwin64\Cygwin.ico"

Is it actually possible with a ConEmu/CygWin64/CygWin Bash set up to accomplish what I want?

Solution

Tasks allow to run as many tabs/panes as you wish.
Docs explain how to run your shell in specific directory.
Ways to execute some command in bash shell on startup.

Example for two tabs with directories

set CHERE_INVOKING=1 & %ConEmuDrive%\cygwin64\bin\sh.exe -l -i -new_console:d:"C:\code\project1\private-api" -new_console:C:"%ConEmuDrive%\cygwin64\Cygwin.ico"

set CHERE_INVOKING=1 & %ConEmuDrive%\cygwin64\bin\sh.exe -l -i -new_console:d:"C:\code\project2\public-api" -new_console:C:"%ConEmuDrive%\cygwin64\Cygwin.ico"
