Terminal

Last modified: 11 October 2024

JetBrains Rider includes an embedded terminal emulator for working with your command-line shell from inside the IDE. Use it to run .NET commands (for example with Entity Framework core), Git commands, set file permissions, and perform other command-line tasks without switching to a dedicated terminal application.

Initially, the terminal emulator runs with your default system shell, but it supports many other shells, such as Windows PowerShell, Command Prompt cmd.exe, sh, bash, zsh, csh, and so on. For more information about changing the shell, refer to Terminal settings.

It provides full access to the underlying shell, which means that you can even run tools like Far Manager (for managing files and archives):
