#TERMINATOR SHELL USAGE FOR MAC#

I wanted to utilize WSL (not Cygwin) and at a minimum needed: I really just wanted the equivalent of iTerm2 in Windows. In this post, IвЂ™m going to quickly explain how I got it running and configured, and some of the other options I tried.

It supports tabs, splits, mouse mode and has a pretty color scheme to boot: But the only thing holding me back was the lack of a nice terminal emulator (admittedly, IвЂ™m shallow and like pretty things).ДЄfter much tinkering, IвЂ™ve ended up with what I feel is the most comfortable terminal experience I can get on Windows. With the Windows Subystem for Linux (WSL) itвЂ™s now possible to have a вЂњnativeвЂќ Ubuntu command line on my Windows 10 machine to use for my CLI nerdiness.

I often feel like I just pay the premium for Mac hardware to have a reliable and easy to configure *Nix operating system.Д«ut lately IвЂ™ve really been wanting to get off the Mac ecosystem and start using Windows 10 on my X1 Carbon as my daily machine. And using iTerm2 with oh-my-zsh is the best terminal experience IвЂ™ve ever had. Python and Node dev environments just work. With Homebrew, command line tools just work. While thereвЂ™s nothing particularly special about MacOS that I love (in fact thereвЂ™s quite a bit I donвЂ™t like), itвЂ™s honestly been the terminal and the underlying Unix based operating system that keep me glued to it. IвЂ™ve been using a Mac as my daily driver for work for the last few years.
