I'm all for ConEmu gaining recognition because it's a great app and Maximus totally deserves it.

But why repackage conemu and call it something else ?!!!

View on HN

Because it's not purely ConEmu, perhaps. What are you talking about?

Come on.....at least look at it before commenting.

"start vendor/conemu-maximus5/ConEmu.exe /Title Cmder /LoadCfgFile ../../config/ConEmu.xml"

It's ConEmu with a modified config file !!! Also .....don't want to be negativist...but Monokai and portable mode have been part of ConEmu since.....forever.

Again....maybe it's just me....but why try to "spin up" a ConEmu config file as ...something else instead of just ...you know...show the world a customzied ConEmu ?

Then there is clink and msysgit and (not yet published) git integration, I am working on integrating some package manager. I will try to include any software that I find helpful.

No this is not coding project. This is a project to bring something usable and nice to people without having to read yet another "Check out my setup". It is like oh my zsh, or some kind of dev-kit.

clink already works with ConEmu (enable it in settings/features). Look at chocolatey for integrating a functional Windows "package" manager.

Good luck with the project.

For that matter, having cmder etc in Chocolatey would be nice

The license is also suspicious

People can think that the whole package is MIT when it is certainly not (there's GNU inside)!

How can I make this more clear than?

You have to put all the licenses of the parts you distribute in the same file where you put your license. You have to specify in that same file by names which parts are covered with which license. If you have Firefox, type about:license. You'll get a huge file where every license is precise what covers (only small selection here):
