I like that you actually can ls in power shell now

    Yes, yes you can.

    Also, WSL and windows terminal go a very long way in making windows actually usable...

    Just add Winget with an UI to have a proper package manager and we're in

    Package manager with a UI? I like my apt and dnf thank you very much.

    You can still use winget by itself from the command line! The UI is just there for convenience and automation

    I really want to love the "everything is an object" of power shell but I just have zero uses for using a shell on windows. Granted, my windows usage is like 15 minutes a week most of the time, but still. I also can't be bothered to use it for work because it's exclusively Linux/linux-ish over there so it's not worth bothering.

    Either way, I like the idea, can't really justify figuring out the details.

    Yeah but tbh i really despise powershells syntax. But i'm happy it is pretty powerful.

    use powershell (specifically the core version!!!), or even better something like Nu shell

    Add ls.bat in your windows directory with dir as the source. It basically acts as an alias.

    Still won’t help me when I type ifconfig or dig, though.

    Also I’ve noticed there is also a curl in Windows CLI that I believe is based on libcurl, but when called from powershell is an alias for (iirc) Invoke-WebRequest.

    echo @dir %1 %2 %3>%windir%\system32\ls.bat

    Something like that should fix the problem, I think...

    It'll always be "Bad command or file name" to me.

  • [–] 7 points 2 years ago

    Yes but it can do "cd.."
