Windows版GUI中的Unix工具

Question

I am a Windows user and would really like to have the power of the Unix command-line for things to speed up programming. (clean up datafiles, search for occurrences of things in files, file/folder operations/ etc.)

Now I know that using Cygwin and a few ports, I could use these command-line tools in Windows as well.

However, the idea of diving into cryptic command-lines seems hardly tempting.

Is there a GUI which has all the UNIX command-line tools, and which allows for simple drag/drop, connect the lines, set some properties, preview, and save the scripts?

Answer 1

I do not think you will get around doing it the old fashioned way. To my knowledge there's no GUI for this. But keep in mind that the command line is also a paradigm for the Unix tools and they would not transfer to a GUI very well.

Answer 2

Try this software

Connection Manager

Answer 3

If you were to use a Unix-like OS with a GUI — you would quickly realise that the GUI is not as polished as the Windows GUI.

And to use the command-line tools in such as system you would open an 'xterm' or 'Konsole' which looked pretty much like Cygwin anyway.

So you have to decide do you want to try command-line stuff (with Cygwin) or not.

The command-line needs be only as cryptic as you want, and there is a learning curve which you can't avoid, but you can attack at your own pace.

Answer 4

I am not sure about how far this will go. Windows is inherently GUI based and the command line is (atleast culturally) seen as a step backwards.

However, there are attempts in the UNIX world to bring command line power to the desktop. I'm not sure how much it helps you but it might start some productive trains of thought. The relevant link is here . As far as I can tell, most of them rely on extending the file browser (explorer on windows) with plugins and simple scripts to automate tasks. Perhaps this is an approach you can try.
