You can create and edit text files directly from the Terminal with "Microsoft Edit," the lightweight command-line editor built into Windows 11.

It's available on Linux, too, and should feel familiar to 'Nano' users! Here's how it works ⤵️
How to edit text files directly from Command Prompt and PowerShell
You can now use Microsoft Edit to create and edit text files directly in Command Prompt or PowerShell without switching apps, and I'll show you how.

Have you finished spending a few months of lunches learning #PowerShell? Next on your plate should be one of the most comprehensive scripting books written by the original PowerShell experts. Includes PowerShell 7 content.

My new guilty pleasures are Korean reality competition shows like Culinary Class Wars and Physical:Asia. The production values are epic and grand. Although, I have to keep my phone handy to look up things like perilla oil and do quick metric conversions.
