The Top Command Line Commands That Every Windows Developer Should Know

July 21, 2025

Hello there! 👋

If you're a Windows developer who's been sticking to your IDE and file explorer, it might be time to get comfortable with the command line.

I just published an article that breaks down the essential commands that can speed up your workflow and make you more efficient at everyday development tasks.

I cover everything from basic file operations and navigation to more advanced commands for managing processes, working with Git, and handling system diagnostics.

I use these daily in my .bat files and they continue to save me time and energy when swapping between projects.
