Good old BASH is probably the most popular command shell out there. Take any randomly selected Angular or React developer and ask him or her what type of computer OS they use, 99% of them will say Mac OS. Why? Some will tell you they like the sleek interface of Mac or it's resilience against malware, but the real key comes down to having a BASH shell. This is huge because things like npm, gulp, ng cli, ssh, git, travis CI, karma, protractor, cucumberjs, and more all run in a BASH shell. Sure, Windows has it's own command line, but it's not the same. Not at all! Lol. Anyway, I'm super excited that Windows has managed to give their own command line support for BASH, unlocking otherwise difficult to take on projects for many developers including my friend Wayne Pao who is fearlessly learning test automation with AngularJS right now as I'm typing this now (on his windows machine)!

(note: you have to be logged in to see the video) I was just derping around on SoundCloud yesterday listening to music while I worked. Because I had cucumber acceptance tests on my mind from my open feature files (also I was eating a salad with cucumber haha) my fingers for some reason decided to type "cucumber" into the search box.
