 Cmder is a **software package** created out of pure frustration over absence of usable console emulator on Windows. It is based on [ConEmu](https://conemu.github.io/) with *major* config overhaul, adds a Monokai color scheme, integrates amazing [clink](https://github.com/mridgers/clink) and a custom prompt layout.
