Microsoft Coreutils

Microsoft released Coreutils for Windows, bringing Linux commands to the platform. The project is based on the uutils open-source project, a cross-platform rewrite of GNU coreutils in Rust. Coreutils for Windows includes numerous commands commonly used in Linux, such as cat, cp, and grep. The utilities can be installed through WinGet using a specific command. Microsoft created a single coreutils.exe binary that contains all the functionality of each program. The setup creates NTFS hardlinks for each supported command, pointing to the coreutils.exe executable. Developers can now switch between Linux, macOS, Windows, and Windows Subsystem for Linux without changing workflows. The goal is to make existing commands and tools work across platforms so that scripts can be used on Windows without modification. Coreutils for Windows was announced as part of Microsoft's strategy to make Windows a developer-friendly platform. Microsoft warns that there may be differences between Linux functionality and how commands work in Windows. The company also announced WSL containers, which will provide a built-in way to create, run, and interact with Linux containers on Windows.
