Did you know that you can install almost every developer tool in Windows inside the command-line tool? Let me show you!

  • Install App Installer in Microsoft Store
  • Next thing - I opened PowerShell and install the fresh PowerShell Core and Windows Terminal
winget install powershell-preview
winget install microsoft.windowsterminalpreview
  • No reason to use old dusty PowerShell 5.1. So, I close it and use Terminal (naturally with PowerShell 7.1 under the cover)

Now we talking!

  • I’m dotnet developer after all. So, I couldn’t live without .NET 6
winget install Microsoft.dotnet -e (e for exact)
  • Installing my note-taking app of choice (Joplin)
winget install joplin
  • Install JetBrains Products now days easier with JB Toolbox, so
winget install jetbrains.toolbox
