How to replace the standard cmd windows?

Question

cmd/bat

Hey!
I worked for a while through the console on a mac, got used to the good design and some features, for example, create files through the touch command. On Windows, to be honest, I didn’t even find how to create an empty file through the console. Are there third-party cmds on Windows that have commands similar to Mac/Linux?

Answer 1

1. Install git which has git-bash and touch/cat/tail ported with it, plus simple bash scripts just work.
2. Install ConEmu, which will wrap your console with a convenient customizable interface, with text selection, scrolling, and smoothed fonts.
3. Ideally, put a bunch of FAR + ConEmu and work in it, you will immediately have a convenient file manager and console, plus macros, hotkeys, navigation and user menus from far.

Answer 2

I use CMDER very convenient and good design

Answer 3

I don’t know what kind of design you are talking about when it comes to the text interface =)
Oh, I can even teach you this for free .
By subject. The same Git historically worked through cygwin (which was a series of GNU programs assembled under Windows + bash itself).
But now in Windows (10) there is a Linux subsystem (WSL) in which , , , , normal and a bunch of everything else work quite well touch( findand grepwhat sedis awknot ssh, it is put through sudo apt-get install $package_name). But the main feature: native support for Linux binaries.

Answer 4

Git bash for example. PowerShell the same

Answer 5

Create file:
echo.>file.txt
True, not empty, but containing CRLF.
