I wish my code was half as good as my expectations for how my code should be. My lattes are better than my code, so maybe I should make latte art instead of ascii art
Yup, that is pretty much the gist of it. Unfortunately this isn't a trivial setup, as you've said.
I used Cmder a lot coupled with the git bash shell for windows, and that setup was pretty solid too.
The cool thing about this is that any one developer's terminal and console setup will be completely different from one to another. My current setup on a mac is using zsh for the terminal shell, iterm2 for terminal, and I use applescript to actually configure pane splitting in iterm2, because I'm basically replicating what I used to have with Cmder when I was on windows.
It would be really interesting if you wrote another post a few months from now to describe all the combinations you tried and which ones you decided to stick with, and why. It's always nice to see what other people are doing. @aspittel
had a really cool post where the community was sharing their own setup. Might be a cool place to get some more ideas as well: dev.to/aspittel/what-does-your-ter...
Welcome tag moderator AKA Unofficial DEV cheerleader. While most of my friends are found on SnapChat or Tic-Toc, you can find me here. And I OOP, but I’m not a VSCO girl.
I'll take a look at that post and make a mental note to do a follow up.
Another addition will be that PowerShell 7 is due to release soon. For those of us on Windows, that will be something else to learn if you do a lot of scripting in that environment.
Now that I think about it, if I wait too long to do the follow up, the whole console world could change!
