FINALLY, all my dreams have come true, now I can totally say I don't really miss Linux all that much (although I work with Linux all the time, as all my VMs are on Ubuntu).

Obviously, Microsoft has a port of the ssh client and server on windows.

http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net 🤔

@ScribeOfGoD Nope. No Cygwin shit. Just pure openSSH implementation under Windows: https://github.com/PowerShell/...

This is interesting. I really do need to branch out of my bash comfort zone and learn Windows cmd.

@corscheid try powershell, cmd is still in the stone age.

Use bash. It's included in windows 10 via the linux on Windows subsystem. It can run _all_ Linux console apps.

@dsteiner I know about that, but I'd rather go for a pure system than opt for something "hybrid".

@Mayhem93 the above might be good for ssh but using the Linux subsystem is good for loads of other things, including ssh. Plus you could already have ssh on Windows with things like putty so it's not really a big deal, just another form of the same idea.

Chocolatey... *Shivers*.

@ScribeOfGoD I don't want putty, I wanted openSSH carbon-copy of the ssh we're all used to on Linux.

@shelladdicted I'd like to say they like what and how Linux works on some things so they are bringing this stuff over to Windows. What's to hate about this? I love it. And it doesn't even feel like a poor man's tool.

@drRoss I take it you're using NuGet ? I've started out with choco a year ago, kinda comfortable with it. Seeing that NuGet has much more packages, I might switch over to it, not to mention the fact that I love that I can add choco's repo to it (for example, I want openSSH, and it's not on nuget).

@Mayhem93 that's not hybrid. That's the full thing - you're then running a version of the Ubuntu core on Windows.

@dsteiner by hybrid I mean A + B, not A + emulate(B). I'd like to stick to one type of environment (even though I switch from windows to Linux VMs frequently, that's enough for me).

Whats wrong with cygwin?

Powershell is a native shell

@Mayhem93 does if have .ssh/config management?

give microsoft some love <3 they are doing some really cool things these days. Have you seen the 24bit color update for the windows console?

@Mayhem93 I just feel a bit uneasy about using the non business version of Chocolatey because of the unverified packages.

@ddulic It's not PowerShell, duh.

@drRoss well it's up to you if you want to install unverified packages (or you can at least turn over to nuget)

@ddulic yep, includes every utility tool that you have on linux (like ssh-keygen). I told you, this is the whole openSSH thing.

I love how people are like "yeah, but what's it missing?" Hahaha. It's OpenSSH duh.

@drRoss Its Windows.

It's not the "90s windows" it's the "modern Windows". Microsoft has evolved as a company.

@Paramite :facepalm: go away... please c9me back when you don't have 2015 information :p

@Paramite The 90s called, they want your outdated opinion back.

@drRoss after using it a couple of times I noticed it's not friendly with xterm at all, something to do with virtual terminal in the process itself, there's an issue filed on their github. So pretty much you're fine as long as you don't use advanced terminal features like required by htop and vim...

So there's a difference to note.
