Bash/WSL – some additions that came to the Windows command-line family back during the Anniversary Update – now has a frankly overwhelmingnumber of improvementsthat are shipping with the Creators Update.

There’s a whole lot more in the blog post documenting the new update, including some in-depth explanations about each and every addition. This new update is massive for people who want to get started with bash, and most certainly proves that the team behind it has responded positively to a significant amount of feedback.

What’s more, the blog post ends by promising even more changes coming in the future. The dev team seems to have gone into overdrive with the launch of the Creators Update – we’ll see if they can keep up the pace going forward.
