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

Let’s make sure to establish the right context for this specific exchange: Helping Windows “based” Redwood users to have the best User Experience developing Redwood apps. Those Redwood users likely do not even know what is git-bash, and may not like to have to learn it. The explanation that the git-bash is a part of git distribution does not change the fact that we are advising a class us users how to stay on Windows, without having to install parts that the company’s management may not allow.

I suggest we focus this specifically on “Developing Redwood Projects on Windows” and not “Developing the Redwood Framework on Windows”

So, to answer your question, @Tobbe, I am not trying to “invent benefits” of CMD over git-bash as that would be idiotic to do. I am trying to describe the best possible context for Developing Redwood Projects on Windows, using my recollections of all possible constraints often imposed on the average software developer having to use Windows computer as the development tool.

Thanks for your post, giving me the opportunity to resolve this Linux versus Windows love/hate relationship which gradually crept into this discussion. No hard feelings I hope :heart_eyes:
