    Cmder

    Cmder

    Portable console emulator for Windows

    Cmder is a lovely portable console emulator package for Windows. It was built out of sheer frustration due to the lack of nice console emulators on Windows. It is based on the amazing ConEmu, with major config overhaul, enhancements from Clink, Monokai color scheme and a custom prompt layout. Overall, it's got a very pleasant user interface that's much improved from ConEmu. The biggest advantage with cmder is that it is portable. It was designed to be totally self-contained, totally free of external dependencies. This makes it perfect for USB Sticks or cloud storage, so you can have your settings, aliases, binaries and history wherever you go.

    ConEmu - Handy Console Window

    ConEmu - Handy Console Window

    Local Terminal Emulator

    ConEmu-Maximus5 aims to be handy, comprehensive, fast and reliable terminal window where you may host any console application developed either for WinAPI (cmd, powershell, far) or Unix PTY (cygwin, msys, wsl bash). As Windows console window enhancement (local terminal emulator), it presents multiple consoles and simple GUI applications as one customizable tabbed GUI window with various features. Also, due to deep integration, ConEmu is the best companion for Far Manager, my favorite shell replacement. Disclaimer. ConEmu is not a shell, so it does not provide "shell features" like tab-completion, command history and others. But you can run any shell or remote access client of your choice in ConEmu! Try Clink for bash-style completion in cmd.exe and PSReadLine or PowerTab in powershell.exe. Or just run Bash from your favourite distro. Also, ConEmu does not provide remote access (SSH/Telnet/...) too, just use your remote client (ssh.exe, telnet.exe) instead.

    cool-retro-term

    cool-retro-term

    A good looking terminal emulator which mimics the old cathode display

    cool-retro-term is a terminal emulator which mimics the look and feel of the old cathode tube screens. It has been designed to be eye-candy, customizable, and reasonably lightweight. It uses the QML port of qtermwidget (Konsole). This terminal emulator works under Linux and macOS and requires Qt 5.2 or higher. Settings such as colors, fonts, and effects can be accessed via context menu. Just grab the latest AppImage from the release page and make it executable and run it. Make sure to install the dependencies first. Once you installed all dependencies (Qt is installed and in your path) you need to compile and run the application. Also, before the building process, remember to install Xcode and agree to the licence agreement.

    wslbridge2

    wslbridge2

    Explore various ways to connect Windows Subsystem

    wslbridge2 is a Windows Subsystem for Linux bridge that connects WSL environments with Windows terminal emulators. It is designed for users who want a better terminal experience than the default console while still running Linux shells inside WSL. The project explores multiple connection methods between Windows, WSL, Cygwin, MSYS2, and terminal frontends. It is especially associated with mintty-based workflows, where a Windows terminal needs a reliable backend path into WSL. wslbridge2 handles the technical handoff between the Windows-side terminal process and the Linux-side shell session. Its main value is making WSL feel more integrated with traditional Unix-style terminal tools on Windows.
