Decent Windows Console
- Install GIT-scm http://git-scm.com/
Run Git and included Unix tools from the Windows Command Prompt
Checkout Windows-style, commit Unix-style line endings
- Install Console2 http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/
In Console2: edit > settings > Console
Shell: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe /c ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i"
Startup dir: [Your root code folder]
Follow https://github.com/tstone/console2-monokai to get monokai colour scheme
Behaviour: Tick "Copy on select" & "Copy newline character > Unix"
Hotkeys: Set copy/paste to ctrl+shift+c/v, Set New Tab 1 to ctrl+t
Restart Console2.
Profit

I haven't looked at Cygwin properly before. It looks a lot more powerful and extendible. I'll have to look in to configuring it though, it doesn't seem as simple as Console2.
