Thisquestion does not appear to be about a specific programming problem, a software algorithm, or software tools primarily used by programmers. If you believe the question would be on-topic on another Stack Exchange site, you can leave a comment to explain where the question may be able to be answered.

Look. This is way old, but on the off chance that someone from Google finds this, absolutely the best solution to this - (and it is AWESOME) - is to use ConEmu (or a package that includes and is built on top of ConEmu called cmder) and then either use plink or putty itself to connect to a specific machine, or, even better, set up a development environment as a local VM using Vagrant.


To enable developer mode, go to Start > Settings then typing "Use developer features" in the search box to find the setting. On the left hand navigation, you will then see a tab titled For developers. From within this tab, you will see a radio box to enable Developer mode.


After developer mode is enabled, you will then be able to enable the Linux subsystem feature. To do so, go to Control Panel > Programs > Turn Windows features on or off > and check the box that says Windows Subsystem for Linux (Beta)


Both tmux and GNU Screen work under cygwin. They can be installed from the cygwin installer. Just search for their name there and you probably will get to the latest version (at least for tmux).


Is there an alternative to tmux/screen that would work on Windows with Powershell? I'm aware of Powerscreen, but it seems dead for a long time. Cygwin wouldn't work with Powershell, would it? Console2 is very poors man solution.


The next few steps are optional. I create a new, cloned WSL instance for PowerShell tmux. You could just use the default Alpine instance, but I like to have single-purpose WSL instances, similar to Docker containers.


It's not precisely analogous to tmux or screen, but PowerShell has a facility for managing remote sessions. Ed Wilson wrote a blog post about it entitled Learn How to Manage Remote PowerShell Sessions, which might help. Also see the about_PSSessions PowerShell help topic.


Console is a Windows console window enhancement. Console featuresinclude: multiple tabs, text editor-like text selection, differentbackground types, alpha and color-key transparency, configurable font,different window styles.


With a couple of dozen different project folders, a few ssh sessions and other goodies in my tmux, I seem to always spill over the 10 windows I can quickly access, and I would love to figure out a quick way to switch to windows numbered 10 or higher. Right now I have to manually type out something along these lines in the tmux prompt:


I did a little research and have found that GIT Bash uses MINGW compilation of GNU tools. It uses only selected ones. You can install the whole distribution of the tools from and run a command to install Tmux. And then copy some files to installation folder of Git. This is what you do:


Update 1: Users in comments are reporting the method not always works. If you have any experiences with this method please feel free to comment, so that we can figure out what are the circumstances under which it works


Hi, as of the date of this post, I was at first not able to get tmux to run under Git Bash, but it could run under mysys. However, after uninstalling Git Bash and getting the latest version of it, and then following the instructions here, I was able to get tmux to run inside Git Bash, happily.


I frequently end up with more than ten windows in tmux. Later on, I close some of my older ones. Is there a way to renumber, say window 15, to window 3 (which doesn't exist anymore)? Or to pack them all up again, so that there are no empty slots? I'd like to do this because it is difficult to jump to higher numbered windows, because you can't do Ctrl+B, 15. I have to use Ctrl+B, w to list the windows and then type the letter corresponding to the window I want to open.


I know that I can swap windows. For example, I could create a new window (Ctrl+B, c) which would open in the empty slot 3. I can then swapw window 15 and window 3 and then close window 15. Obviously, this is a tedious approach.


Hi! Today I'm gonna talk about my daily developer workflow and all the tools I use to set up a productive enviroment for coding. I think having a nice looking terminal and some tools to save time are really helpful to keep you productive in daily coding sessions.


I use Windows and it's pretty much unusable for programming. Thankfully Microsoft understood that and made Windows Subsystem for Linux also known as WSL in short. It lets you run a Linux distribution inside of Windows.


I use Ubuntu, it's the default distribution that is installed with WSL. Ubuntu is really simple to use and has a huge community so getting support is very easy. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to start using Linux and get familiar with basic Linux commands.


Ubuntu by default comes with the bash shell. Bash is great but I personally find it harder to customize. That is why I use Z shell, more commonly known as zsh. To manage my zsh configuration, I use Oh My Zsh. It has a huge community and makes it trivial to install and use plugins.


I used to use fish which is also a great shell. It has very sensible defaults and comes with a lot of cool features like autosuggestions, tab completions, etc. out of the box without the need to set up anything. The only problem with fish is that it is not POSIX-compliant. POSIX is a set of standards that define how to develop programs for UNIX based operating systems. So in fish, things like bash scripts do not work. They have their own scripting language.


I use Starship for my prompt and it is AMAZING. Written in Rust, Starship is a minimal, highly customizable and super fast prompt. The default look of it is really good but literally every little detail is customizable to your liking. To install Starship refer to these docs.


The icons aren't showing up here because you need a nerd font for that. If you set up a Nerd Font (I recommend JetBrains Mono), and copy this configuration, you'll get a very minimal looking prompt like this. For more information on configuring Starship, you can look at the docs here.


tmux is a terminal multiplexer. It lets you have multiple persistent terminal sessions and come back to them without terminating the existing running processes. So you can return to a workspace, exactly where you left it. It also allows you to manage multiple windows and panes inside a session.


This way I can jump into any one of my workspaces really quickly and start coding. It also helps that I'm exactly where I left off. I highly recommend tmux for local development, it has changed how I work and increased my productivity by a massive amount.


Neovim is the best code editor for me because of its speed and ease of customization. All the configuration is written in Lua, which is very easy to learn and write. It helps me be really fast and productive because I never have to take my hands off of my keyboard.


You might have seen in some of the screenshots that I just have to run z license-generator to jump to that directory. That is zoxide. Also written in Rust, it's a smarted cd command that remembers which directories you visit frequently, so you can jump to those directories with just one command.


That was a quick overview of all the tools I use on a day-to-day basis for coding. I think it's really important to spend some time working on your workflow and coding setup, it will make you faster over time. I hope you found the tools I listed useful and will incorporate them in your workflow too!


ls supports colours and symbols for file metadata (they're things like / and *, not icons, and they don't differentiate between file types, but I've very rarely been bothered about that. Either a directory is so full you're better off asking ls *.png to dig out the pictures or it's small and organised and you don't need help reading it.


Because I'm in high school right now and some of the apps we use for school aren't available in linux. Also I can't really afford to get two different systems, one for programming and one for gaming/other work. So this works fine for me.


that is what I thought... it must be such a pain... Recently my computer broke and I hve a desktop for gaming, with windows of course. I thought "i will try to setup a backup enviroment... I only neet emacs, what could possibly go wrong?"... well it I wasted 2 days and failed miserably...


Windows is great ....if you use WSL and have the extra bit of ram. You can also install it without Docker Desktop, which takes up a decent amount of resources, but they don't make it readily apparent. You can just install Docker engine by itself if you need docker. I use Windows long enough click my terminal and don't leave Linux again. That way I can still have Windows for the things I need it for but get a super fast development experience with Linux. The only thing that people run into is storing files in the Windows system and then working from the Linux side. As long as you stay in Linux and store projects there, you'll never know the difference.


Hello, I am having some problems when I tried to copy your configuration. First one is colorscheme not found, I tried to do as suggested on github repo of shaunsingh, but not worked. Second, I use cpp, and have clangd installed as language server, how to set that. Thank You fot the amazing article.


As long as the script have the shellbang, it should work fine in fish. The only "downside" is that you can't copy bash commands and expect them to work, though, but I'm against copying commands at all.


I try my best to not horde browser tabs. Occasionally I look up and realize that I have so many open that I now have to scroll. While I attempt to do the same with my tmux windows (and GNU screen too), there are days where I keep opening news ones, well past the 0-9 range.


Another method would be to use Ctrl+b ' (single quote), which will prompt you for the index of the window. You can use this method to jump to any window, by its index, not just the windows numbered 10+.
