Any good Windows CMD alternative?

I can really recommend a tool called cmder:

Powershell or cygwin

Im using cmder

cmder!!

Install gentoo

I like using Cygwin

Ignore everyone hear who didn't say PowerShell. Seriously, it's better than bash so don't even.

I use it along with ConEmu.

I definitely prefer Zsh to PowerShell, but Zsh would only run on a Unix like environment like WSL or Cygwin, both of which are not nearly as nice as running it on a natively supported environment, so for Windows the best shell is probably PowerShell optionally in combination with ConEmu.

With cmder you can run multiple shells, including powershell

Used conEmu before, but fancy cmder better

system(char[] command);
// c++

If you like cygwin you have to check out babun which is a really good wrapper for it https://babun.github.io

Another one for cmder.

If you're talking about the interface, try ConEmu. It's very nice, though kind of hideous out of the box. Somme tweaking, though, and it's beautiful.

You could also checkou hyper. You can nearly tweak and customize every part of it.

Powershell and ConEmu. Never use that caveman cmd.exe. You could also get the chocolatey package manager and install openssh + GNU Coreutils

I was hopping this was a joke...

@strider no Windows build.

@Zaphod65
The funny part is that I have installed it on my Windows machine. They removed the download link.

@Zaphod65
The 64-bit version is available.

@strider ... Fucking mobile sites.

Cmder with powershell and scoop as package manager http://scoop.sh

I use posh-git wit powershell to pimp my shell while i git

I used cmder when i did my coding on windows, i didnt like the responsiveness when in a large git folder due to the status checking. Now i use terminator with zsh + ohmyzsh and i definitely recommend it. Programming on Unix is way more efficient and easy. I'm not a windows hater; i use it too, but every tool has its uses.
