Ultimate Windows Dev Environment for 2024! 🪟🧑‍💻

I was never a big fan of the command line experience on windows, but recently things have improved and I tried creating a command line based dev setup.

Sharing it here.

If you use windows I definitely recommend going through it.

Here's the repo link if you want to set it up directly.
