How to remove welcome message from prompt?

Every time I start up a bash prompt it displays the message:

Welcome to the Git for Windows SDK!

The common tasks are automated via the sdk function;
See sdk help for details.

Also, whenever I restart Windows, a link to "Git SDK 64-bit" keeps getting added back to the desktop.

How can I both remove this welcome message and stop this link from being added to the desktop at login?

You can comment out Line 446 and Line 449 of /etc/profile.d/git-sdk.sh. This won't survive an update of git-extra, though.

@shankar2k are you even sure that you want to develop Git for Windows? That would be the only reason for you to use Git for Windows' SDK.

You're right, I have no interest in developing Git for Windows, just using it. I originally installed Git Bash, and then later MSYS. I wanted to integrate Git into my MSYS configuration, so I followed the instructions here. It was after I did this that I started to see this "Git for Windows SDK" prompt and desktop icon.
