Salutations!
I have recently been getting the warnings below every time I open Git Bash or Command Prompt.
I have tried to follow the solution at https://github.community/t/mkdir-cannot-create-directory-dev-shm-read-only-file-system/12190 which mentions my problem specifically but I do not have the specific Git Bash shortcut at all.
git push was also not working temporarily even though my SSH credentials were still there but that issue seems to have solved itself.
I am unsure of what this issue even is and if I should do something about it.
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/dev/shm’: Read-only file system
Creating /dev/shm directory failed.

Creating /dev/mqueue directory failed.
POSIX message queues will not work

In a CMD, type set HOME, and check that:
HOMEDRIVE=C:HOMEPATH=\Users\<you>Make sure to use the latest Git for Windows
Then, for testing, set a simplified PATH, with:
set PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
set PATH=C:\Program Files\Git\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd;C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\libexec\git-core;%PATH%
In that same CMD, type bash, and see if the issue persists.
