Is There a Windows Terminal in the Browser?

Yes — you can practice Command Prompt online in your browser with Windows CLI. Most people searching for a “Windows terminal online” mean CMD (the classic C:\> shell), not the Windows Terminal app you install on a PC.

Windows Terminal is the modern app that hosts CMD, PowerShell, and other shells. CMD is one shell inside that window. Here you practice CMD itself — type commands, see output, get checked — like our other command guides, but in a full learning sandbox.

Try the command

Run dir to see the folder contents.

Build the command
dir
[path]Folder to list.
Terminal
C:\Users\User>dir Documents

Real-World Examples

After dir, step into the folder:

Command Prompt
C:\Users\User>cd Documents

On a real PC you would open Windows Terminal, pick Command Prompt, then run the same commands:

Command Prompt
C:\Users\User>echo Hello from CMD
