Hyper

Hyper is a new type of terminal emulator, built with web-technologies and can be used as an alternative to ConEmu as the terminal emulator. To run Cmder with Hyper instead of ConEmu, follow these steps:

  1. If you're not using a recent version of Hyper, update to the latest version.
  2. In your Hyper terminal environment, press Ctrl + , (Control-Comma) to open the Preferences config file. Alternatively, you may edit the file from %userprofile%\.hyper.js with your favorite text editor.
  3. Navigate to the near end of the configuration file, find and modify these variables according to the values provided here:
    shell: 'cmd.exe',
    shellArgs: ['/k', '[cmder_root]\\vendor\\init.bat'],
    env: { 'TERM':'cygwin' }, // required for git-for-windows

(Substitute [cmder_root] with your Cmder installation directory.)

Recommended Optional Steps:

In the plugins array, you can add 'hyperterm-monokai', 'hyper-tab-icons' and 'hyper-statusline' plugins to use the monokai color scheme and get a more Cmder-like user interface.

Here's a demo of Cmder on Hyper:

Cmder on Hyper

You can call this installation Hyper Cmder (read Hyper Commander).
