2. Linux-based Terminal for Windows¶
For Linux users, please skip this part and continue to Usage.
For Windows users, I recommend using git-sdk. You can use built-in Linux commands and install packages. For more information about git-sdk, please see build-extra.
To install and use git-sdk, follow these steps:
Download git-sdk
Install git-sdk (e.g., to the default directory
C:\git-sdk-64
)Open
C:\git-sdk-64\git-bash.exe
2.1. Install and Uninstall Packages¶
Use pacman -S
to install packages and pacman -R
to remove packages.
2.1.1. Commonly Used Packages¶
Install Tmux for detached sessions:
pacman -S tmux
Install procps-ng for browsing procfs:
pacman -S procps-ng
2.2. Use git-sdk in Visual Studio Code¶
To use git-sdk as the integrated terminal in VS Code, add the following JSON snippet to the settings:
{
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\git-sdk-64\\usr\\bin\\bash.exe"
}
