  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Windows Terminal

    The new Windows Terminal and the original Windows console host, all in the same place!

  • Can you file a bug on the terminal GitHub repo? Because home and end definitely should work. I know they work in the stock cmd, powershell, and WSL bash configurations, so maybe your shell is doing something unexpected

  • PowerShell

    PowerShell for every system!

  • Remember not to confuse a terminal and a shell. cmd.exe and PowerShell are shells--this is a terminal, which hosts those shells, and is going to supplant conhost.exe. PowerShell is maintained by a separate team over here: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell and cmd.exe is unmaintained (or I think the Terminal team may own it, but it's limited to fixes-only).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Win32-OpenSSH

    Win32 port of OpenSSH

  • Ah see now that sounds like ssh.exe that ships with Windows. They've chronically had bad input handling in the version that actually ships with Windows. There's a preview prelease that's available on their github that's probably better.

  • winpty

    A Windows software package providing an interface similar to a Unix pty-master for communicating with Windows console programs.

  • winpty was a third-party lib for emulating a pty-like interface on Windows.

  • openssh-portable

    Portable OpenSSH, all Win32-OpenSSH releases and wiki are managed at https://github.com/powershell/Win32-OpenSSH (by PowerShell)

  • When you click the link to the new active repo in the readme from the repo you linked, it takes you here: https://github.com/PowerShell/openssh-portable which is where all new portable OpenSSH development happens. This repo has recent activity, but it's release tags only track up until 8.1

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
