Issues with Windows 10 Education + Git Bash

[agitter]

There were a few point where the Docker commands did not run as expected in Git Bash on Windows 10 Education with Docker Desktop.

Path for mounted volume

I had to add an extra / to escape the path when mounting a volume for docker run:
docker run -v "/${PWD}":/data csv-to-scatter-plot

Sharing drive to mount volume

I had to share the C drive in the Docker Desktop settings before I could mount the volume. This didn't work at first but did after restarting Docker Desktop.

Interactive Ubuntu

The interactive docker run command required an extra prefix, as described in https://willi.am/blog/2016/08/08/docker-for-windows-interactive-sessions-in-mintty-git-bash/
winpty docker run -it ubuntu
