Windows: Command Prompt

The Command Prompt is a basic terminal emulator that has been included in Windows since the early days. It provides a command-line interface for interacting with the file system, running basic commands, and executing batch scripts.

The Command Prompt supports a range of commands, including:

  • dir: List the contents of a directory.
  • cd: Change the current directory.
  • md: Create a new directory.
  • del: Delete files.
  • copy: Copy files.
  • move: Move files.

In addition to these basic commands, the Command Prompt supports a range of advanced features, such as redirection of input and output, piping of commands, and batch scripting.

It’s a simple and lightweight tool well-suited for basic tasks and for users who prefer a minimalist interface.

However, it lacks some of the advanced features and flexibility found in more modern terminal emulators like PowerShell and GitBash.
