AUTOEXEC.BAT
was automatically executed when people used to run DOS.
We do not have that facility in Windows anymore, but this is a
stop-gap for it.
When running a toolchain without Powershell or Bash, it was historically important to me to be able to libraries, tools and utilities and tools for development.
I still use this setup on any Windows machine I work on. I was complaining about the lack of command line tooling available for development on Windows, but I have started to work with the system than against it. I maintain this Git repository periodically.
This is my DotFiles for Windows.
-
git clone
or extract this repo into a directory calledCMD
in your home directory. Such asC:\Users\John\CMD
. ThisREADME.MD
file should be within it. Now just click and open theAUTOEXEC.REG
registry entry. It will add the registry entries in that file into your registry. -
Open a new Command Prompt and now
AUTOEXEC.CMD
file will run automatically.
Reach out to me for any feedback.
Now Enjoy!
