Have you tried typing git into the win tag and typing and selecting
the subsequent arguments in another window, passing them to git via

I've just tried doing that with 'git pull', and 'ls -ld .', both
commands working as expected for me.

Is this what you've been trying to do, or am I thinking wrong here?
