John Long

John Long is a solo developer whose GitHub presence centers on small, laser-focused Windows utilities that shave seconds off repetitive command-line tasks. His only published tool, Slick Cmd, grafts Unix-style path bookmarking, auto-completion and rapid folder hopping onto the stock Windows console, turning the antiquated cmd.exe into a springboard for developers, DevOps scripters and system administrators who still rely on batch files, PowerShell pre-commands or legacy build scripts. Typical use cases include jumping between deep project trees, cycling through recent directories without retyping, and chaining quick navigation macros inside automated deployment pipelines. The utility sits in the PATH, adds no background services, and consumes negligible RAM, making it a lightweight complement to larger toolchains such as Visual Studio, Docker Desktop or Git for Windows. Because the code is open-source and single-purpose, it is often bundled by hobbyists with terminal emulators, code editors and portable tool collections distributed on GitHub and community forums. All of John Long’s released software, presently limited to Slick Cmd, is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are routed through trusted Windows package sources like winget, always deliver the latest upstream build, and can be installed individually or in batch alongside other catalogued applications.
