Hyper: Support of linux commands on windows.

[jasonsalzwedel]

Hi there,

I was expecting to be able to use Linux commands such as "ls" on my Windows machine through hyper, but get the following response when I enter 'ls'.

'ls' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Is this a bug or is it expected behaviour?

Cheers,

Jason

@jasonsalzwedel I'll take a look at your problem :)

Hi 👋 ls is a linux command, it does not work out the box with windows. There are several options for you to enable this on windows though.

So yes, this is expected 👍

We should have a readme/section on the website for windows users about this, the different options and how to configure them. PR welcome as I'm not using windows nor know all the options with pro/cons 👍

I'd like all the different options listed in windows.md:

• Bash for windows
• Git-bash
• Powershell
• CMD
• Conemu?
• More?

with pros & cons for each, and a section describing the requirements and how to set it all up.

Thanks for the help!
Have the GIT Bash up and running.
