![]() It’s also availableīut you will miss out on automatic updates if you install it from there. “Windows terminal”, it should be the first item on the list. In this article, I’ll describe a few ways to tailor the terminal experience to your needs along with tips and tricks to make your experience smooth and productive.Īpp is available on the Microsoft Store. It’s packed with useful features like GPU acceleration, tabs, panes, themes, and shortcuts, along with full support for different environments such as PowerShell, Command Prompt, and Windows Subsystem for Linux. The Windows Terminal provides a much improved command line experience in Windows 10 and 11. Here's the values I used, remember to set the actual color scheme.Updated on OctoA Guide to Customising the Windows Terminal Last thing, I changed the color scheme to be a bit more like SS14s. If you want the background I used i'll paste them below.ĥ. Just mess around with it to how you like. For the background image, you can set it in the GUI. If you want the SS14 icon, download it from () and put it in a safe place. Since this is for SS14, i've set it up to my local directory.ģ. Change `"startingDirectory":` to wherever you want Git Bash to start-in. "startingDirectory": "C:\\Users\\swept\\Desktop\\SS14 Github\\space-station-14",Ģ. "commandline": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe", (I'm assuming you know how to indent and shit so it works). In the JSON file, scroll to the `profiles:` section and underneath `list:` paste this code into it. (You could add this with the GUI but this is quicker).ģ. Scroll down to the bottom and click "Open JSON file". In Windows Terminal, hit the dropdown and go to settings.Ģ. Done! Should be able to right-click and open it wherever.ġ. Save the file and double-click it, it'll ask you to confirm and stuff.ĥ. Windows Registry Editor Version Terminal Replace "swept" with your username.Ĥ. Right click to edit it and paste this code inside. Create a new file on your desktop named "1.reg".Ģ. The `-w` parameter was added to Windows Terminal in ().ġ. Unfortunately, Windows Terminal does not support replacing your default Windows cmd console yet, but this is an ok work-around for specific files. You can replicate this for whatever type of file you're opening. `ftype batfile="%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe" -w 0 "%1" %*` For reference, that command would look like This opens whatever i'm opening in my current Windows Terminal window in a new tab. There's a lot of parameters to play around with here. `ftype batfile="%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe" "%1" %*`Īs you can see, this modifies the exe `.bat` files open by default in to the Windows Terminal exe. Open a cmd window (Must be cmd and must be in Administrator mode) and copy/paste this. To combat this, we need to edit the registry again. Unfortunately, when you run a `.bat` or `.py` or `.ps1` file, it'll open in a bog standard cmd window. I recommend creating a shortcut for it on your desktop or taskbar or w/e. That's it! Search for "Terminal" in your search bar and "Windows Terminal Preview" should show up. So for me it would be `Add-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsTerminalPreview_1.7.572.0_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle`Ĥ. Type `Add-AppxPackage` (space) `the full file-name you downloaded`. Open a Powershell window in the directory where you download the file.ģ. Go () and download the `.msixbundle` from the latest release.Ģ. If you don't want to use Chocolatey, you can grab the release directly from Github.ġ. ![]() `choco install microsoft-windows-terminal -y` Microsoft Windows Terminal has been packaged in Chocolatey in the package (). () is a very versatile package manager, similar in some ways to `apt-get` in linux, or `npm` in the world of node.js. Unfortunately this is the only way to get regular updates for it, but updating it isn't so bad with this method. This sucks, as you have to have to login with a Microsoft account to download it. (Now you see why you haven't heard about it). The "official" way to download it is through the Microsoft Store on Windows 10. It's just owned by Microsoft so they make it as hard as possible for people to install it.Īnyway the first thing you want to do is get the damn thing. Well - it's perfectly usable and gets regular updates. So you've probably seen () trailer and wondered what happened to the fancy new terminal. If you aren't afraid to log into your Microsoft account, just install it from the Microsoft store () instead. # Installing Windows Terminal Without The Microsoft Store
