Microsoft is maintaining a fork of Rust Coreutils for Windows to ease the developer experience across Windows \/ WSL \/ macOS \/ Linux.<\/p>\n<p>Coreutils for Windows is Microsoft&#8217;s maintained build of the Rust Coreutils (uutils) project along with findutils and grep. The newly-established microsoft\/coreutils on GitHub argues it as:<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A Microsoft-maintained build of uutils\/coreutils, findutils, and grep packaged as a single multi-call binary for Windows. The goal is to make moving between Linux, macOS, WSL, containers, and Windows frictionless: the same commands, flags, and pipelines work the same way, so existing scripts carry over without translation.&#8221;<br \/>\n<br \/>Coreutils for Windows is currently considered in preview form.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.net\/image.php?id=2026&#038;image=coreutils_for_windows_med\" alt=\"Microsoft Coreutils for Windows\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The Microsoft documentation adds more about the Coreutils for Windows experience.
