Windows Commander lets you run commands with ease and written in C#. It provides a simple CLI but a graphical terminal emulator for it is planned.

Install

Note: Commander is only tested on Windows 11.

  1. Download and install .NET 6.0 SDK 64-Bit.
    • You should also install the .NET runtime.
    • Before installing, if you use Visual Studio, you should upgrade to Visual Studio 2022 at the download page. You can break your current Visual Studio by installing .NET 6.0.
  2. Download and install Git for Windows. (Or with Chocolatey, install with choco install git.)
  3. Get the code from here by running the following in Git Bash: cd /c/users/USERNAME;git clone https://github.com/Tyler887/Commander
    • You need to replace "USERNAME" with the username you use in Windows.
  4. Exit Git Bash and open a Windows command-line (powershell, cmd, pwsh, etc).
  5. Go into the source files:
    • Windows Command Prompt: CD %USERPROFILE%\Commander
    • Windows PowerShell (or PowerShell 7): Set-Location $env:UserProfile\Commander
  6. Open Commander.sln in Visual Studio and build it
  7. Copy build files to C:\WINDOWS, this should not harm Windows but will make it easier to start Commander from a command-line
  8. enjoy ;)
