It doesn’t really go into what all it can do
- HumanProtractor 2y agoYeah, could use a readme for sure.
- Lammy 2y agoAside from the fun of having a CLI on a Mac, I also use it to dump the ROMs from my machines. e: it also comes with Git (among other utilities) which might make it worth it to some people for that alone.
- azinman2 2y agoHow does it run git? Is there some kind of posix layer? What utilities does it come with?
- Lammy 2y agoHere's a screenshot for you, fresh from my PowerBook G3: https://i.imgur.com/zmFJy5l.png https://i.imgur.com/zmFJy5l.png
- flembat 2y agoI had forgotten how strange it was to see a terminal in OSX, a huge step sideways, I won't say backwards as it has its uses, but that was also the nasty green screen world I thought we had escaped from...
- philistine 2y agoYeah, when I was younger and a neophyte, I thought it was idiotic that Mac OS X had a command line. Now that I’ve switched to Mac and that I’ve learned how to use it, I wouldn’t move to a platform without strong Unix roots. So what I guess I’m saying is I wouldn’t use Windows.
- fsiefken 2y agowsl with directory tree integration is also good, or cmd.exe with native gnu tools and additional binaries.
- philistine 2y agoIt sounds so ... clumsy.
- pjmlp 2y agoYeah, even though I routinely use a mix of CLI and REPL environments, I also don't get the fetish to use computers as I was doing back in 1990 in MS-DOS and Xenix. One of the appeals of Amiga was to only dive into the Amiga DOS shell if I really needed to.
- sedatk 2y agoYeah. I even checked screenshots and all they show is a $ prompt.
