After a longtime I was on my windows machine and had to make it feel more like my linux machine. So install the thing what everyone else does cygwin.
Surpise my custom .bashrc and .vimrc worked without any issues. Good !! had the bashrc update vimrc update, we are back to linux .. like :)
My custom linux environment - howto.
Then I realized there is no way to install package from cygwin terminal.
Then I found below script apt-cyg which is really nice.
Package Installer - apt-cyg http://github.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg
Installation
apt-cyg is a simple script, copy below script to home directory on cygwin
Here is the link https://github.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg/blob/master/apt-cyg
Execute below command.
install apt-cyg /bin
Now we can use - Example use of apt-cyg
apt-cyg install nano
apt-cyg install lynx
Output
