I have added this line to my .bashrc file: alias edit="cygstart /cygdrive/c/Programmi/Crimson\ Editor/cedt.exe "$(cygpath -w "$1")"" I have only an annoiance, not a real problem, only an annoiance: when I start the Cygwin shell and it loads the .bashrc file, it is shown this message: cygpath: can't convert empty path Is it possible to hide it without removing the tip?
