Clearly you should install Edit.
https://github.com/microsoft/edit
Classic DOS editor for text files, batch coding, and QBasic coding. Good times.
Ok that's really cool. It looks like it's really new? Like 3 months old?
Yep, recent blog post about it:
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/edit-is-now-open-source/
It was announced in may on microsoft build event ^^
I call it nano for windows haha
I installed vim/nvim on my work windows pc. I don't often need to edit text files in terminal, but its nice having its functionality.
My actual issue is I need approval to install anything on any server. This might get approved since it's MS though! Thanks.
