And with `` ... more than a decent UNIX shell ...'' I mean that besides having a UNIX command interpreter that comes along with the git shell on Windows, you also have a neat client to a revision control system. If you may prefer, just refer to it as a versioning file system (git:// ....). 

I hope that is clear enough @Collins?

More than a decent UNIX shell yawah! (I hope you meant a More decent UNIX shell) , if you meant the first.... woi! 

I mean the first form, i.e: ``.....  git bash client on Windows usually provides more than a decent UNIX shell ....''. 

I was hoping the meaning would not be lost in the words. Is there something wrong with the statement?

Martin.

Things I've always taken for granted... You can't ssh from cmd? Jeez, I've been away from windows that long?

If you're running Linux you don't need an emulator, the terminal is native.  I use iTerm2 for Mac although the native Mac terminal is also very good.  The shell I use is zsh but mostly just for kicks - there's no amazing advantage over bash.

 

If I didn't have a Mac I would run Ubuntu 13.04 desktop and if necessary, run Windows 8 inside of VirtualBox.  For terminal stuff I wouldn't even go into the Window VM - that would just be for using Microsoft Office and things like that (again, only if necessary).

@Adam, et al, do you have a good terminal emulator for linux?

 

I had to revert to Zoc (my favourite) and the likes of teraterm, of course via Wine to get my work done.

 

I am yet to find a good native linux client. Key features:

 - Key Bindings (backspace, function keys, etc)

 - Session specific customisations

 

Unfortunately this MobaXterm has refused to run via wine

For those who love terminals like I do, I find this one great!

I am sure you'll love it.

 

Also, from the terminal, type `busybox --help` and see the host of Unix cmds available.

 

I just discovered this 3 days ago and loving it.
