Cmder the terminal artifact under Windows

Nonsense

Windows commonly used terminal has two, ancient cmd and powerful but you do not remember the function PowerShell , both I used a period of time, give me the experience is adequate, the interface is ugly, although win10 can be adjusted under the background color, transparency, font size, Color etc to make it look not so ugly, but still ugly, and it can not achieve my most wanted function, multi-label , why there is this demand, read the following picture you can experience my pain.

I also used Xshell during the period, but it gave me a weird, stiff feel, and Git Bash used it. To tell the truth, I used it purely because I didn't want to use the graphical tool of Sourcetree, but I couldn't remember the function of git, so I had Git Bash to use the intelligent induction to complete the command.
