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?

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

Have you tried to contribute something to it? 👀
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!
Looks so 🔥🔥 tbh 💯
Thank you!
Gnome Terminal
I need to look into that, for sure 👀
Hyper ♥️ It got super awesome plugins and I can customize it in any way I want 🙂
Yeah, I found it randomly and now I used it daily, super light and fast(compare with other base-electron app !!) + full customizable
I've heard some good stuff about hyper 🔥🔥
Windows Terminal with Git Bash and Ubuntu Bash :)
In Linux I normally use
Tilda
drop down terminal orGuake
orgnome-terminal
if I have to; in Windows I useHyper
terminal mostly, but useWindows Terminal
on occasion. Then I use my own 'UniShellect' tool to load other shells.Are you talking about this? 👀
Yes :)
For local work, either Windows Terminal or the terminal built into VSCode. For remote work, kitty, though I'm not married to either, and I'm starting to use VSCode more and more for remote work as I get more used to it and change my work flow to adapt to it.
Let me guess, you're well familiar with this? 👀
Familiar with it, but for now, I'm just using VS Code Remote SSH or git clone'ing the repository and working on it locally. The Remote SSH takes a bit of startup time since it seems to download and run the "server" fresh every time. Been having internet issues lately, so I've been doing more cloning to the local machine, but the Remote SSH is very convenient once I have it open.
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
iTerm
first I used the Default terminal of the Linux but it's to much boring for me then I was installed ohmyzsh terminal its fairly seems to be good but his speed to much slow then I come back to default terminal of the Linux . I Prefer speed instead of funs...
I guess everything comes with its price 😉
I tried many times to install other terminals like Hyper etc and for some reason they were always really slow compared to the default mac one or linux one.
I have though a good set of custom functions and aliases that I commonly use.
So, you went back to default mac one? 👀
As mentioned yep. Default one with a strong number of functions and aliases
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 !
Looks clean 💯
Windows - WT if available(preferring cmd, ps , wsl shell)
Linux - gnome terminal preferably (shell bash, zsh) althought any terminal(xfce, konsole, xterm) is just fine as long it's bash or zsh shell
Like to keep it minimal if I can open an cmd and run then that's it
Although I keep updating my setup such as using WT on my personal machine, while my work pc still use basic cmd terminals mostly
Yup, the main thing is what works for you and how efficient you are with it 👍😉
Zsh Shell with powerline10k it's just so awesome and the scripts i added on my own in .zshrc instead if plugin installed by oh my zsh or plug as they slow down so yeah its way better now.
Awesome you find your solution 👍😎
Ive used termite, alacritty, xterm, and st. Termite is greatest, but because of its age it has issues building on modern distros, so I use st its blazing fast and very customizable.
I'm a big suckless fan, but I switched from st to kitty, because of sixel (I can view images right in the terminal now). As soon as I get st working with sixel, I'll switch back.
Which one are you using now? 👀
