Yeah I use my terminal to run other things, as it stays compiling for around 5-6 min. I could open another tab like you mention but Instead I automated all so it only takes 1 alias (ex cc) to compile my shit.
The compilation also requires several inputs and “Key Presses”, so I automated all of that in the Batch file.
Since people are curious Ill explain why:
I need to build our project from the remote repo using a PowerShell script (.ps1). I’m using Bash in the VSCode terminal, I have to run the .ps1 script in a **new Command Prompt** because the compilation takes around 5 minutes and I need my terminal for other things. To do this, the only way is to run a batch file that executes the .ps1 script.
Its an automation so I dont need to touch powershell whatsover and remain in bash terminal. Instead of opening several windows, I automated all so it only takes 1 alias to compile my shit.
