> elegant shells like PowerShell
Microsoft really should push that harder and create some sort of standardized /usr/bin-alike so people can install CLI tools (both local user equivalent to ~/bin and globally requiring admin) in a controlled manner.
PowerShell is an awesome shell.
- cald0s 3y agoShame about the language
- deafpolygon 3y agoCan you explain?
- delta_p_delta_x 3y ago> /usr/bin-alike This is called C:\Program Files. > ~/bin This is called %LOCALAPPDATA%, which lives in C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local. There are exact equivalents to Unixisms on Windows; it's just that Unix developers don't want to use these equivalents.
- deafpolygon 3y agoSo, putting executables in C:\Program Files will work to make them available to you on the shell?
- delta_p_delta_x 3y agoNo; to make an executable available on the shell, you add its directory to PATH, same as on *nix.
