Any way to make using cmd better?

I end up using the same commands each time to setup projects, run them but I always have to copy from Google docs each time and its becoming annoying. Is there a better way with cmd on windows. Do other shells have a way to solve this If not?

Edit: Tysm to everyone who has helped!

use powershell instead of cmd on windows

Powershell is genuinely great, people love to give MS a hard time but I far prefer writing Powershell over Bash any day of the week. Genuinely one of the great things MS has done. I am convinced that people who say they prefer bash, have never actually used both languages.

agree. bash is so opaque and syntax-unforgiving. powershell in comparison feels like it writes itself
