    As a person who used to use Brackets live preview, please get http://cmder.net/, then install and setup gulp. Gulp has much, much more superior live preview (https://www.browsersync.io/), it gives you address like localhost:3000 and you can open it in any browsers, any devices[1], it refreshes on file save (even images) and it doesn't break if you open dev tool (unlike Brackets). Gulp also have excellent SCSS compiler plugin, and many other plugins you'll not be able to live without.

    [1] On other device, instead of entering localhost:3000, enter computer's IP address (such as 192.168.1.-, 10.0.0.-, etc) and add :3000 or whatever port it provided you)

      Now you can just use the bash prompt instead of having to worry about installing commander.

      Seems few realize bash is on Windows now. RoR dev on Windows is like on Linux. Windows also has a big package system just like Homebrew called Chocolatey: https://chocolatey.org/
