[Mingw-users] Missing Windows entries in MSYS' $PATH?

[Andrew Pennebaker]

MSYS appears to lack many entries in its $PATH, compared to my Windows user
%PATH%.

MSYS:

$ echo "$PATH"
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/c/Windows/System32:/c/Windows:/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl

echo %PATH%

C:\Program Files\ConEmu\ConEmu\Scripts;C:\Program Files\ConEmu;C:\Program
Files\ConEmu\ConEmu;C:\Program Files (x86)\Razer Chroma SDK\bin;C:\Program
Files\Razer Chroma SDK\bin;C:\Program
Files\Docker\Docker\Resources\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program
Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Windows Performance
Toolkit\;C:\Go\bin;C:\Users\a_pen\go\bin;C:\Ruby24-x64\bin;C:\Users\a_pen\.cargo\bin;C:\Users\a_pen\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;C:\Users\a_pen\AppData\Local\atom\bin;C:\Program

(x86)\GnuWin\file-5.03-bin\bin;C:\Users\a_pen\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32;C:\Users\a_pen\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts;C:\Program
Files\Git\cmd;C:\Program Files\Git\bin

MSYS bash configuration:

https://github.com/mcandre/dotfiles/blob/06abd486b51c7b4ae56bd530a0afa6f4257401be/.bash_profile
https://github.com/mcandre/dotfiles/blob/06abd486b51c7b4ae56bd530a0afa6f4257401be/.bashrc

Any ideas for correcting MSYS PATH to include the full Windows user PATH?

Other shells feature the correct full PATH, including cmd, PowerShell, Git
bash, and bash on Ubuntu on Windows.

Doesn't happen here.

How do you start the MSYS Bash? Also, which of the environment
variables you show are in the "System variables" and which are the
"User variables" for your user?
