Windows Dev and Setup: Recommendations and Best Practices [Collaborative Wiki]

Hi, @Tobbe

I will respectfully disagree, with a tiny bit of disappointment that you felt the need to say (quote below):

after you rightfully corrected me above.

So for the record, Windows Terminal is not “just a terminal”, but rather a brand new desktop application with built-in multiple shells, that are selectable via a tabbed interface (see below):

My point is that going forward, developing RedwooJS applications on windows can be done either using this Windows Terminal or VSCode, which give you access to all different shells without the risk of misconfiguration issues.

Remember, this document is intended to advise our customers how to develop on Windows, without having to use old methods. Naturally, we are only advising - so anyone who is not to be advised, will have access to the last section of this document that will list all known “tricks” from the past.

Hope that this resolves the issues related to the terminal versus shell confusion. Anyone with a different opinion, please pitch in.
