Do you want to see a terminal on Windows like this

mine terminal experience

And write commits in customized vim

vim with gruvbox theme

Then here is what you should do.

Terminal

  1. Install Git for Windows
  2. From C:\Program Files\Git\etc\profile.d\git-prompt.sh delete places where the newline symbols are used, like PS1="$PS1"'\n'
  3. Also I removed useless MSYSTEM line.

Originally the file has this content

if test -f /etc/profile.d/git-sdk.sh
then
	TITLEPREFIX=SDK-${MSYSTEM#MINGW}
else
	TITLEPREFIX=$MSYSTEM
fi

if test -f ~/.config/git/git-prompt.sh
then
	. ~/.config/git/git-prompt.sh
else
	PS1='\[\033]0;$TITLEPREFIX:$PWD\007\]' # set window title
	PS1="$PS1"'\n'                 # new line
	PS1="$PS1"'\[\033[32m\]'       # change to green
	PS1="$PS1"'\u@\h '             # user@host<space>
	PS1="$PS1"'\[\033[35m\]'       # change to purple
	PS1="$PS1"'$MSYSTEM '          # show MSYSTEM
	PS1="$PS1"'\[\033[33m\]'       # change to brownish yellow
	PS1="$PS1"'\w'                 # current working directory
	if test -z "$WINELOADERNOEXEC"
	then
		GIT_EXEC_PATH="$(git --exec-path 2>/dev/null)"
		COMPLETION_PATH="${GIT_EXEC_PATH%/libexec/git-core}"
		COMPLETION_PATH="${COMPLETION_PATH%/lib/git-core}"
		COMPLETION_PATH="$COMPLETION_PATH/share/git/completion"
		if test -f "$COMPLETION_PATH/git-prompt.sh"
		then
			. "$COMPLETION_PATH/git-completion.bash"
			. "$COMPLETION_PATH/git-prompt.sh"
			PS1="$PS1"'\[\033[36m\]'  # change color to cyan
			PS1="$PS1"'`__git_ps1`'   # bash function
		fi
	fi
	PS1="$PS1"'\[\033[0m\]'        # change color
	PS1="$PS1"'\n'                 # new line
	PS1="$PS1"'$ '                 # prompt: always $
fi

MSYS2_PS1="$PS1"               # for detection by MSYS2 SDK's bash.basrc

# Evaluate all user-specific Bash completion scripts (if any)
if test -z "$WINELOADERNOEXEC"
then
	for c in "$HOME"/bash_completion.d/*.bash
	do
		# Handle absence of any scripts (or the folder) gracefully
		test ! -f "$c" ||
		. "$c"
	done
fi

Missing newlines didn't work good together with some output from git, so I had some messy output after commits. But it is fixed in the recent version (I noticed when I upgraded to 2.46.0 from some really old version).

no newlines

Here is my resulting script

if test -f /etc/profile.d/git-sdk.sh
then
	TITLEPREFIX=SDK-${MSYSTEM#MINGW}
else
	TITLEPREFIX=Git
fi

if test -f ~/.config/git/git-prompt.sh
then
	. ~/.config/git/git-prompt.sh
else
	PS1='\[\033]0;$TITLEPREFIX $PWD\007\]' # set window title
	PS1="$PS1"'\[\033[32m\]'       # change to green
	PS1="$PS1"'\u@\h '             # user@host<space>
	PS1="$PS1"'\[\033[33m\]'       # change to brownish yellow
	PS1="$PS1"'\w'                 # current working directory
	if test -z "$WINELOADERNOEXEC"
	then
		GIT_EXEC_PATH="$(git --exec-path 2>/dev/null)"
		COMPLETION_PATH="${GIT_EXEC_PATH%/libexec/git-core}"
		COMPLETION_PATH="${COMPLETION_PATH%/lib/git-core}"
		COMPLETION_PATH="$COMPLETION_PATH/share/git/completion"
		if test -f "$COMPLETION_PATH/git-prompt.sh"
		then
			. "$COMPLETION_PATH/git-completion.bash"
			. "$COMPLETION_PATH/git-prompt.sh"
			PS1="$PS1"'\[\033[36m\]'  # change color to cyan
			PS1="$PS1"'`__git_ps1`'   # bash function
		fi
	fi
	PS1="$PS1"'\[\033[0m\]'        # change color
	PS1="$PS1"' $ '                # prompt: always $
fi

MSYS2_PS1="$PS1"               # for detection by MSYS2 SDK's bash.basrc

# Evaluate all user-specific Bash completion scripts (if any)
if test -z "$WINELOADERNOEXEC"
then
	for c in "$HOME"/bash_completion.d/*.bash
	do
		# Handle absence of any scripts (or the folder) gracefully
		test ! -f "$c" ||
		. "$c"
	done
fi

Change color scheme to your taste or use Alacritty that has more appealing look even with default settings.

ssh

I use ssh-agent to handle my credentials. Maybe Git for Windows nowadays offers some nice solution, and possibly that my approach is outdated, but I use it the way on Linux and it works even with several Github keys loaded simultaneously (which is not possible with any magic you try in .ssh/config).

SSH_ENV="$HOME/.ssh/environment"

function start_agent {
	#echo "Initialising new SSH agent..."
	ssh-agent | sed 's/^echo/#echo/' > "${SSH_ENV}"
	chmod 600 "${SSH_ENV}"
	. "${SSH_ENV}" > /dev/null
	if [ -f ${HOME}/.ssh/github ]; then
		ssh-add ${HOME}/.ssh/github > /dev/null 2>&1
	fi
}

# Source SSH settings, if applicable

if [ ! -d "$HOME/.ssh" ]; then
	mkdir "$HOME/.ssh"
	chmod 700 "$HOME/.ssh"
fi

if [ -f "${SSH_ENV}" ]; then
	. "${SSH_ENV}" > /dev/null
	ps -ef | grep ${SSH_AGENT_PID} | grep ssh-agent$ > /dev/null || {
		start_agent;
	}
else
	start_agent;
fi

Conclusion

This was a good warm up. So maybe it's time to offer something serious?

A tiling window manager for Windows 10 and 11!

And it's written in Rust!
