ConEmu on steroids

If you like ConEmu you owe it to yourself to check this out. Not 'better' than ConEmu, but enhanced. Pretty much brings the bash/zsh/etc experience to Windows via ConEmu. Try it out!

Good, but has a problem with latest stand-alone git installations. You have to re-configure bash/mintty tasks manually or always use portable git version from Full Installer.
