Windows Terminal Context Menu - How To Setup

When I heard about The new Windows Terminal I was mind Blown because of how beautiful it is to customize your own terminal window.

Terminals are one tool most programmers use to automatically generate something or build something. So having this kind of terminal is awesome.

After Downloading the terminal there is something missing. And that is opening the Windows Terminal in the context menu.

What A context menu is when you right-click on a directory and an option will show up. Something like this image. This is really a good feature to have because you can just easily open your project by doing it.

And so because of that, I created a simple PROJECT that is easy and simple to setup.

So, to set up this,

Important

You should have installed the Windows Terminal on your system. If you haven't installed yet, you can go to these options to download the app:



👉 Note: Windows Terminal requires Windows 10 1903 (build 18362) or later

Follow This Steps After Downloading, and will configure everything for you.

Step 1

"profiles": {
     "defaults" : {
          ...
          "startingDirectory": "." //add this
     }
}


Step 2

Run the Install.bat to automatically configure the context menu for you.

Thats It! Have a Nise Day! 😄👍👊

In this tutorial, I will point out a few important JavaScript best practices so you don’t have to learn it the hard way. Get ready to level to your code! 1. Avoid polluting the global scope Declaring variables is a lot of fun. Sometimes, you may declare global variables even if you don’t want to.
