• Terminal commands I use as a frontend developer

  I am using iTerm2 on my macOS. Other available options are Hyper and VS Code’s inbuilt terminal, which I sometimes use for quick tests. You can open a terminal in VS Code by using the keyboard shortcut CMD + J or CTRL + J on Windows, or View → Terminal. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• I Just Wanted Emacs to Look Nice – Using 24-Bit Color in Terminals

  IME, this is like the golden age of terminal apps in general and macOS-compatible ones in particular. There are several really good terminals for macOS: [iTerm2 app](https://iterm2.com/) [Kitty terminal](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/) [WezTerm terminal](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/index.html) [Alacritty](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty) -... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

  Over the past few years, my coding journeys have been accompanied by the reliable iTerm2, offering a seamless experience without any fuss.

• Groovy 🎷 Cheat Sheet - 01 Say "Hello" from Groovy

  Alternatively, you can use sdkman. A great tool to install your Software Development Kit. The downside is that it only works on *nix systems. So for Widnows users, you will have to use WSL or Cygwin as the official page suggests. It is really simple to use sdkman. After a successful installation, just type those commands into your *nix shell:. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• How do you even get started programming in c++ on Windows?

  You could try Cygwin. I never leave home without it. Source: about 1 year ago

• What exactly IS gitbash?

  It's launching MSYS2, which is in turn based on cygwin, which is a collection of common Linux utilities built for windows and an incomplete POSIX abstraction layer. Source: over 1 year ago

• Kind of an obvious design flaw

  IME, not really? Git for Windows or MSYS2 are both pretty solid. I used Cygwin for years, but MSYS2 seems to integrate a bit more smoothly (plus MSYS uses pacman instead of Cygwin's fiddly gui for package management). Source: over 1 year ago

• WSL - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS using a ton of memory?

  Try Cygwin or Msys2, they are not running virtual machines. For Bash and Neovim only you probably don't want to run a whole virtual machine. Source: over 1 year ago
