What terminal do you use?

I'm running Git Bash since the day I installed Git. It's been awesome since it's been stable, fast and I prefer the UNIX-like environment.

What terminal do you use and why?

it's like play Justin Bieber to an alien who doesn't know Michael Jackson exists.

I work on a mac so I use iTerm, with a zsh shell and I'm using the spaceship theme of zsh so I can see git details as well as my package version and what version of node I'm using!

Windows Terminal with Git Bash and Ubuntu Bash :)

Windows terminal with WSL2. so it's real bash on real linux. I've moved most of my dev work in here because a lot of the stuff I do runs on linux servers anyway, so developing and local testing in WSL2 reduces a lot of possible issues, very often due to slight differences in dependencies. On the plus side, being in a full linux environment means access to not only bash and gnu tools, but also full on linux programs that aren't available if you're running in git bash.

Have you used WSL before WSL2, btw? 👀

yes, and I actually still use both, since WSL has faster Windows file access

In Linux I normally use Tilda drop down terminal or Guake or gnome-terminal if I have to; in Windows I use Hyper terminal mostly, but use Windows Terminal on occasion. Then I use my own 'UniShellect' tool to load other shells.

I'm using powershell with starship so far, it's awesome and so much better than the default command prompt on Windows: git sensitive, more user friendly, ergonomic, etc

Life changing !
