Custom nice colors in Windows shells

We’ll be using scoop to install the necessary tools.

Quickstart with scoop

• Install git separately. Here’s the link: https://gitforwindows.org. I recommend the following customizations in the installer:
  • Use Notepad++ as default editor
  • Use True Type fonts in all console windows
  • Check out as-is, commit as-is
• Win+ R -> powershell. In PowerShell (answer ‘Y’ when asked):

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -scope CurrentUser
iex (new-object net.webclient).downloadstring('https://get.scoop.sh')

• scoop is now installed, if you had any open cmd windows - close them now.

Colors for cmd.exe and PowerShell
