Grep this: Microsoft grafts (most) Linux commands onto Windows
6 min read
Microsoft released coreutils, a Rust-built binary, enabling 75 Unix commands like grep, ls, and cat in Windows CMD and PowerShell. Commands such as grep and cat now function fully in Windows, supporting log file searches and command chaining. The update standardizes tools across Windows, Macs, containers, and WSL. Linux users no longer need to remember dir instead of ls in Windows CMD.
