I recently played around with Microsoft's new "Windows Terminal", a great new tool for working with different command-line tools in Windows.
I use the following setup:
- First, download Windows Terminal from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/windows-terminal/9n0dx20hk701
- Add context menu action so that we can right-click a folder and choose "Windows Terminal here". https://dev.to/brojenuel/windows-terminal-context-menu-how-to-setup-35oo
- Setup the Cascadia Code-font to use git in a nice way: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/tutorials/powerline-setup
My default setup for the Windows Terminal settings looks like this:
"defaults": { // Put settings here that you want to apply to all profiles. "colorScheme": "One Half Dark", //"Tango Dark", "fontFace": "Cascadia Code PL", "useAcrylic" : true, "acrylicOpacity" : 0.9, "startingDirectory": "." //add this },
Also if you want the git-bash as one of the options on the dropdown for shells, just add this to the "list"-property in the Windows Terminal settings:
{ "guid" : "{14ad203f-52cc-4110-90d6-d96e0f41b64d}", "name" : "Git Bash", "historySize" : 9001, "commandline" : "C:/Program Files/Git/usr/bin/bash.exe --login", "icon" : "C:/Program Files/Git/mingw32/share/git/git-for-windows.ico", "useAcrylic" : true, "acrylicOpacity" : 0.9, "padding" : "0, 0, 0, 0", "snapOnInput" : true }
Note: The path to git might be different, sometimes something like c:/program files (x86)/
