Is Cmd Prompt the same as Ubuntu Terminal?

I'm sorry if this is a simple question:

I want to swap from ubuntu to windows for my web dev (personal preference). I'm used to using the terminal in ubuntu and the commands there and I was wondering whether the command prompt in windows is the same? Do the commands do the same?

If not, is there a way to get a terminal for windows the same as ubuntu?

Its not the same, as others have answered, but since the latest version of windows 10 there is a way of running linux bash terminal in Windows.

Have a look in Bash on Windows.

It is actually running Ubuntu inside your Windows.

Windows is based on DOS but Ubuntu is based on Linux. Each of those has its own commands, with some similar commands. I personally prefer Linux commands as they are easier to understand and more simple than DOS commands. You can't use Linux commands in DOS nor the reverse.

No the Command prompt is not same as the Linux shell you may find some commands resembling to those of the shell in Linux (terminal) however to get a more Linux shell like environment you can install cygwin or GOW (Gnu on Windows). It will give you a bash.

You can find Cygwin here . and You can find GOW here .
