clink VS gow

It would allow portable graphics applications on the terminal, e.g. this C64-emulator-in-Docker only renders ASCII characters, but could be extended with sixels to render graphics (I actually tinkered with this, but didn't get far because most terminals have either none or too slow sixels support):

If you don't want to learn the powershell commands then clink can enhance the existing cmd shell. It provides a lot of features i was used from bash/zsh: completion, history across sessions, colors, fzf integration and so on. Can be extended with lua.

Windows Terminal is great and an enormous improvement over conhost. That said, cmd itself isn't any better unless you extend it with something like Oh My Posh and clink. Add GNU CoreUtils to your path if (like me) your muscle memory is to use ls and rm over dir and del.

Clink (https://github.com/chrisant996/clink) combines the native Windows shell cmd.exe with the powerful command line editing features of the GNU Readline library, which provides rich completion, history, and line-editing capabilities. Readline is best known for its use in the Unix shell Bash, the standard shell for Mac OS X and many Linux distributions.

clink injected into cmd.exe + msys for the utilities, all hosted in OpenConsole

Download the zip file for portable clink from the clink site We will only use clink in the custom Windows Terminal profile by manually extracting the portable clink to the Program Files folder. If you want to install clink to the normal CMD also, you can use the installer and omit the following steps until step 3.0

It has been around for some time however I just found it. It is called Clink . Anyone interested in a video tutorial

And if need so much something like this, you can always use WSL or GOW (https://github.com/bmatzelle/gow)

I’m honestly shocked no comment I’ve seen here has talked about ‘gnu on windows’ nor Windows Subsystem for Linux. I use both, because I prefer the windows environment but also like linux command lone.

Use gow, and WindTerm; and if you want an even better experience install lsd, fd, and lf all of which are downloadable via Chocolatey, the Windows package manager

Gnu on windows has you for the missing utils https://github.com/bmatzelle/gow/wiki

¹ Bash was ported natively, zsh runs through mingw quite well. ² https://github.com/bmatzelle/gow

Ah, you're on Windows, so you don't have those utilities. Looks like these days, folks are using GoW (GNU on Windows) to install some useful GNU utilities on Windows machines: https://github.com/bmatzelle/gow

Being using GOW since forever as a lightweight cygwin/msys (native) alternative.
