Good work, command line is a powerful and effective way to work. Soon you will be sick of pointing and clicking :)

A few suggestions:

  • bash might be a better option than zsh as it's far more commonly used.
  • instead of git bash, look into MSYS2 (git bash is an inferior subset)
  • instead of Cygwin, why not use WSL (windows subsystem for linux) and get a real linux environment. (PS: I use "wsltty" for a nicer terminal on the WSL)

Thanks for your reply. I’m enjoying Zsh at the moment so I’m going to stick with it for now, but I will keep those other options in mind. WSL isn’t an option on my laptop, but once I upgrade, that’s definitely the way I’m going to go.
