PuTTY is fine of course, but just FYI to those who don’t realize it: Microsoft has worked for a while to port OpenSSH to Windows proper. I think they are even shipping it with Windows nowadays.

WSL is the answer to anything where you go "I want ____ from ". Install a decent terminal emulator, open it, type "bash" and win.

"Install a decent terminal emulator" - this is the big problem for any command line experience on windows. What do you suggest?

Has anyone tried the new official terminal? [0]/[1]

It looks rather interesting, if still in prerelease. (also, there's a trailer for it on YouTube - so weird [2])
