Before this article, the blog has shared cmder, MobaXterm, and other terminals, which are already quite mature and user-friendly. If you are particular about the interface and aesthetics, you can also try Terminus.

Key Features

  • Themes and color schemes
  • Fully configurable shortcuts
  • Split panes
  • Remember your tabs
  • PowerShell (and PS Core), WSL, Git-Bash, Cygwin, Cmder, and CMD support
  • Integrated SSH client and connection manager
  • Full Unicode support, including double-width characters
  • Does not hinder fast-flowing output
  • Proper shell experience on Windows, including tab completion (via Clink)

Terminus is free and open-source, supporting multiple operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux. Among the terminals I have used, Terminus is the most beautiful, but it is still in the Alpha version and may have some inevitable small bugs.
