Usable shell on Windows (yay!)

Mac user here but sometimes I code Julia on my Surface Pro. When I do, I use the Linux Subsystem for Windows 10. If you’re on that version of windows, it worth checking out, works great. It runs Ubuntu or SUSE under Win 10 so you get bash.

As for the Terminals themselves, I usually go with ConEmu:

But Babun (http://babun.github.io) and cmder (http://cmder.net) are good choices too.

These things have oh-my-zsh integration and with real bash it’s a powerful combination. Being a Linux subsystem you can install all the Ubunutu goodies via apt-get.
