Microsoft is launching a new command line terminal tool called Windows Terminal. It is designed to access environments such as PowerShell, Cmd, and Windows Linux subsystem (WSL). Microsoft is adding support for multiple tabs, split windows, shortcut keys, themes and customization for developers who want to adjust terminal tools. Microsoft's new Windows terminal application was announced at the Build 2019 developer conference.
In the previous article, we recommended cmder This tool is convenient for us to use many Linux commands on Windows. This time, Microsoft released the embedded super terminal, and github won more than 1w stars after open source.
As long as this magic tool is available, it is estimated that many developers will be more receptive to Windows PC. This software will be officially released in Windows Store in June, and also marks Microsoft's efforts to improve the developer environment on Windows 10.
