There i was, having to use Windows. Again. It’s been a while since i use it 100% of the time.

Since windows’ command prompt totally sucks and I’m not familiar with PowerShell (nor have the time to learn it), started googling something with zsh and found babun.

this is how it looks with default

It’s really easy to install. Windows easy.

You can even integrate it with your IDE (I’ve tried VS Code and PHPStorm without any issues).

Setting babun as terminal, in PHPStorm, windows.

Under the hood it has Cygwin (duh) and even has it’s own plugin manager.

So, if you’re a Windows user, give Babun a try.
