Microsoft open-sources its console / terminal code! (MIT-licensed)

Dear All,

 

Yes you've read correctly! Microsoft released the code of its terminal + the
Windows console host (conhost.exe) under MIT license at:

https://github.com/microsoft/Terminal

I think this is a really great move!! This can definitively help us for: 

*	first, allowing us to improve our existing console code,
*	and in the future, getting our console architecture Win10-compatible
(...)

 

This also means that anybody can contribute back to their code via
pull-requests, or at least creating issues.

 

For those using Windows 10, they plan releasing „official“ builds starting
June 2019 according to their posts:

Best,
