# 🌟 SuperConsole

[![GitHub version](https://badge.fury.io/gh/alexchmykhalo%2Fsuperconsole.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/gh/alexchmykhalo%2Fsuperconsole)

**SuperConsole** is a software collection based on [ConEmu](https://github.com/Maximus5/ConEmu), [MSYS2](https://github.com/msys2), [Mintty](https://mintty.github.io/), [Zsh](https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh), [Git for Windows](https://github.com/git-for-windows/git), [grml-zsh-config](https://grml.org/zsh/), [Antigen](https://github.com/zsh-users/antigen) and [agkozak-zsh-theme](https://github.com/agkozak/agkozak-zsh-prompt) projects, customized and configured for everyday use.



## List of customizations (so far):

  * Pre-configured ConEmu with my favourite settings (see post-install/ConEmu.xml)

  * ConEmu/zsh out-of-the-box configured to restore previously opened tabs and shell working directories after ConEmu restart

  * Used mintty as a ConEmu child GUI to run MSYS2 zsh.

  * Choose between clean and inherited environment when start new SuperConsole session

  * Custom colorful scheme, colorful output for various commands

  * MSYS2 included, zsh and necessary software preinstalled, used zsh-grml-config

  * Used Antigen for zsh theme and config management

  * Enabled number of zsh plugins to activate completion, highlighting and history for most comfortable use.

  * Git-for-Windows repo with proper git and git lfs support for MSYS2 environment is configured, git client already installed.

  * ssh-agent for git works out-of-box, add your keys to ConEmu/msys64/home/user/.ssh dir

  * Non-blocking zsh prompt status updates thanks to agkozak-zsh-prompt

  * Customized for MSYS2 command-not-found handler suggests what package to install

  * Set up nano as main editor, enabled nano syntax highlighting

  * Custom helper scripts added to ConEmu/msys64/3rdparty
