Release Our first release of Coreutils for Windows · microsoft/coreutils (original) (raw)

For anyone looking to use familiar *nix tools on Windows, we've created an installer for you. It includes:

• The Rust rewrite of GNU Coreutils, uutils/coreutils
• Their accompanying FindUtils implementation, uutils/findutils
• As well as our newly written Grep implementation, uutils/grep
• A shim to ensure your existing DOS sort & find invocations continue to work
• And finally, a PowerShell wrapper allowing you to use glob patterns the way you do on other OS

Our installer will give you various options. If you just want to try it out, please feel free to use winget:

winget install Microsoft.Coreutils

We hope you like it! Please expect some bugs in this first version.
