Revise choice of prompt for windows #128

Closed drvinceknight closed 5 years ago

drvinceknight commented 6 years ago

What works on command prompt? Git bash? Anaconda prompt?

(Because autocompletion of git commands does not work in Anaconda prompt.)

Regarding autocompletion of git commands

Autocompletion of git commands do not work in any prompt, neither in anaconda, command or Git CDM, The only way of getting around this is using the git bash which comes with the git installation. But we will not be teaching command prompt at all.

The second issue was regarding copy paste in the command prompt. This is easily resolved by doing this: https://www.isumsoft.com/it/how-to-copy-and-paste-in-command-prompt-on-windows-7-10/

I don't believe we currently use the command prompt at all for windows, we recommend anaconda prompt (to ensure python behaves). I think I'll add something recommending git bash for git on windows.

we use anaconda prompt but we use cmd commands. For example dir to display the files in the current directory.

If you use git bash then you are using bash commands. For example ls to display the files in the current directory.

Ah yes of course!

Does the way I've written it in #138 look ok? Left as is and just mentioned that if you want to use tab completion for git you need to use git bash.

I'm going through the prs now!
