  • Any user with Win 7 user + Vim at terminal+airline_with_Powerline_symbols?
    On Windows 7 your best bet is to install a modern terminal emulator like ConEmu: https://conemu.github.io/. Source: 10 months ago
  • The amount of times I have accidentally done this...
    On my work system I have local admin but Windows Store is blocked by policy. One of my coworkers over on the DBA team had me install ConEmu which has some nice features similar to to Windows Terminal. Also, Posh-Git is a nice addition to have on top. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Name the tools you can't live without!
    Conemu if your a fan of that quake style terminal and tabbed terminals. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Steps of entering the IT world? Learn Python Or Operating systems first?
    If you do, try out this thing; https://conemu.github.io/. Source: over 1 year ago
  • What's you Terminal emulator of choice on Windows?
    ConEmu will get you tabs. I run CMD, POSH, Notepad++, PuTTY etc. In one window. Plus Doom-style HUD! Source: over 1 year ago
  • My Development Setup
    Moving on to software, we have the Windows Terminal. I used ConEmu with Powershell until I found Windows Terminal easier to use. And after enabling Windows Subsystem for Linux on my PC, I use it with Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS. I replaced bash with Z shell, and with the plugin oh-my-zsh, it's easy to make command-line magic. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
  • Win server manager or Win admin center?
    The tools I use the most (for general administration) are RSAT, VSCode, RDCMan, and PowerShell (via ConEmu, but the new Windows Terminal is nice too). I also do a bunch of deployment related stuff in the SCCM console, the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) console, and Lansweeper. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Best terminal emulator with good-enough compatibility to run `emacs -nw` adequately
    Yeah that or instead, ConEmu itself I guess. If ConEmu won't do it then it probably won't work natively on Windows to begin with so I'm that confident about it (plus it's very customizable) :D. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Make your console look amazing and use Linux commands on Windows 11 and older
    As I mentioned earlier, I’ve used several consoles, but it’s ConEmu that has kept me coming back to it happily. It’s very flexible and configurable! ConEmu can be downloaded directly from the developer's website here. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago
  • For those that work in IT Admin, what are the key Powershell Commands that every admin should know?
    I also love ConEmu so I always have a PS window handy. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Moving to macOS after 10 years of running solely Linux
    Thanks! I have worked for a client with Windows only, too. I achieved a more terminal based workflow by utilizing WSL, VSC remote code, and ConEmu. Basically, Windows was only a host for Outlook and VPN. My work was done solely in a WSL environment running Ubuntu (and all my dotfiles). Source: over 2 years ago
  • Install Tmux on Git for Windows
    In the new Git Bash instance, launch a new Tmux session normally by running tmux. You should see the usual Tmux status bar and you'll be able to use the normal Tmux functions and keyboard shortcuts. Likewise, if you run Git Bash (again, the MinTTY version) in ConEmu, Tmux works just fine in it, as well. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago
  • Display Current Git Branch on iTerm2
    As a Windows user, I generally use Conemu Console for my console and it has a sweet future in which you can see the current git branch on the terminal. After using Mac I wanted to see the same future on iTerm2. I found the way and I want to share it with you 🙂. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago
  • Tips for developers switching from Windows to Mac
    ConEmu was my go-to terminal on Windows and so I was pretty bummed out when I realised that it wasn't supported on Mac. After asking some folks on my team, they suggested iTerm2 and I must admit it's equally fantastic. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago
  • Windows Terminal Preview 1.10 Release
    I'll still hold on to ConEmu as my Win terminal. Source: almost 3 years ago
  • I'm looking for a software/program
    It's probably not what you saw, but you can do stuff like that with ConEmu. Source: about 3 years ago
  • What are some smooth computer tricks/software that can totally impress someone?
    Friend, may I introduce you to https://conemu.github.io. Source: about 3 years ago
  • how can I get a simple filter program to support unicode √ at the Windows commandline?
    No, the bug is one layer deeper. ConEmu suffers from the same defect. Source: about 3 years ago
