Windows Terminal and Cmder
- 2022-04-22
Using windows to develop can be a bit of a challenge. It doesn’t have any good tools for cross-platform python tools. On Linux, I use make and a makefile
to orchestrate building and configuring virtual environments. Clone the repo and make venv
and I have a functional and repeatable environment. A few months ago I discovered Cmder. I learned that it has make
and most of the tools I use out of the box for windows. The only issue, it is a bit of a pain. Recently I decided to try installing windows terminal and host Cmder in that. That works really well and seems to be pretty stable and is relatively easy to install. It would be nicer if it was an automated install, but these instructions are not too bad.
