This is a fork of Cmder (1.3.14.982) used in courses taught by Susan Buck at the Harvard Extension School.
The following describes the modifications made.
Customized prompt via /config/my_prompt.lua so that the prompt character is a $ character instead of a Lambda character. This makes the interface consistent with Mac/Unix.
Added a handful of useful and course-specific aliases in /config/user_aliases.cmd.
These files were added to /cmder/bin to address various compatibility issues students were facing:
cyggcc_s-1.dllcygiconv-2.dllcygintl-8.dllcygwin1.dll
Added nano.exe to bin/
Downloaded from: http://www.nano-editor.org/download.php
Nano is the most straightforward command line editor, and it’s already available for Mac and our Linux-based production servers. By making nano also available for Cmder, we can streamline instructions required for editing admin protected files, config files, etc.
Added elevate.exe to bin/.
Downloaded from: http://code.kliu.org/misc/elevate
Accessible via the elevate command.
Makes editing admin protected files more straightforward. Previously we had to include a number of different instructions for opening a file as an admin, which varied from version to version of Windows. With elevate it's as straight-forward as sudo is on Mac/Unix.
Update /cmder/config/ConEmu.xml to disable CheckOnStartup:
<value name="Update.CheckOnStartup" type="hex" data="00"/>
Since we’re using a forked version of Cmder, we don’t want to update via the traditional route.
