title: Where is vimrc or vim profile for github's mingw32 shell on a Windows machine?
body: <p>Cygwin has a home directory where I can store a .vimrc file to set up syntax highlighting.  I know on linux machines this file is usually in a home directory and that it can be stored globally (although I haven't figure out how the global thing works yet).  </p>
  
  <p>I'm windows user (I apologize), so I use different shells for different things, and am not all too sure why syntax highlighting is not working when I launch it from the git bash shell.  It works fine for cygwin and for putty. but not so much for git's mingw32.  </p>
  
  <p>Another thing is that when I ssh to a remote server using cygwin, I cannot use Vim, but I can use Vim just fine when I connect using Putty's shell.</p>
  
  <p>Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated. </p>
