WinuxCmd

Cao Mengxuan·caomengxuan666.WinuxCmd

Linux-style command set for Windows terminals

WinuxCmd provides native Windows implementations of common Linux-style commands for Windows terminals. It includes GNU-style commands such as ls, cat, grep, sed, ps, and lsof, works without WSL, and supports Windows and Linux-style command workflows in PowerShell, Command Prompt, and other shells. The bundled `wpm` package manager installs a curated set of portable Unix-side tools with SHA-256 verification and an isolated opt/ layout for DLL-bearing packages.
