It's no secret that by default the terminal in Windows is still a crutch. The standard terminal was replaced by the Powershell terminal in 2006. Then, although it was a breakthrough, the terminal was still not as convenient as it was on Linux with its Bash. Microsoft came up with a rather bad command syntax -
, which formed the basis of the entire Powershell syntax and did not allow you to quickly work with the terminal. Not immediately, but after several releases, aliases were added, at first they imitated commands from cmd, and then they adopted bash commands like cp, mv, rm, ps and so on (in fact, these are not commands, but simply abbreviations that refer to to standard Powershell commands).
In this mini-article I will try to solve the problems of the inconvenient terminal emulator in Windows, as well as the lack of some functionality in it.

Although the terminal in Windows is still not as functional, I believe that sooner or later this will change, if only due to the integration of Linux into Windows (WSL). I think you can already use the terminal calmly, because people keep coming up with something new to breathe new life into the Windows terminal emulator.
If you were interested, you can read my blog in the cart , there is a lot of interesting things about the world of Linux, as well as about web development.
