You can use the common Linux/Unix command lines on Windows (such as ls
, mv
, nano
, vim
, etc), by installing either Cygwin or WSL.
These familiar GNU/Posix tools can be installed on Windows, to provide the same experience as other Linux/Unix based operating systems, such as Ubuntu and macOS.
Cygwin is a free and open-source implementation of GNU/Posix tools, while WSL is a Microsoft product that allows the installation of a Linux distribution on top of Windows.
👉 NOTE: The Cmder full edition comes with Git for Windows, a project that already includes some of the tools mentioned above. However, since it's based on a light fork of Cygwin (called MSYS2), it may lack some of the other binaries you may want to use.
You can install Cygwin alongside with Cmder full; However, to avoid duplicated binaries, it is recommended to install Cygwin alongside the Cmder mini edition and install Git within Cygwin.

to open Cygwin in CmderAfter the installation, you can add Cygwin binaries to PATH
so that you can use them natively in a Windows shell (e.g. Cmder).
Open System Properties using either:
sysdm.cpl
→ EnterClick on Environment Variables… in the Advanced tab
From the System variables (or User variables if you are not an admin),
select the Path variable and click Edit…
Depending on what version of Windows you have:
;
character to the end of line, then enter the binaries path.✅ Note: This should the installation directory followed by \bin
for the binaries directory.
Example for default installation path:
e.g. for 64-bit: C:\cygwin64\bin
e.g. for 32-bit: C:\cygwin\bin
In case you have installed Cygwin in a custom folder, you should substitute C:\cygwin
with your installation directory.
Tip: Don't forget to prepend the ; on Windows 7 and older, e.g.:[current_path]
;C:\Cygwin\bin
Press the Ok button where needed, until all open windows are saved.
