Terminal Multiplexer for Microsoft Windows – Installers for GNU Screen or tmux

Look. This is way old, but on the off chance that someone from Google finds this, absolutely the best solution to this – (and it is AWESOME) – is to use ConEmu (or a package that includes and is built on top of ConEmu called cmder) and then either use plink or putty itself to connect to a specific machine, or, even better, set up a development environment as a local VM using Vagrant.

This is the only way I can ever see myself developing from a Windows box again.

I am confident enough to say that every other answer – while not necessarily bad answers – offer garbage solutions compared to this.

Update: As Of 1/8/2020 not all other solutions are garbage – Windows Terminal is getting there and WSL exists.
