About:
uutils-coreutils is a modern, cross-platform reimplementation of standard GNU coreutils written in Rust. It provides familiar command-line tools like ls, cat, and grep that work reliably across Linux, macOS, and Windows. The project prioritizes safety, performance, and portability while maintaining compatibility with existing coreutils behavior.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform compatibility (Linux, macOS, Windows)
  • Memory-safe Rust implementation
  • POSIX-compatible command-line interface
  • High performance with modern tooling
Use Cases:
  • Replacing GNU coreutils on non-Linux systems
  • Scripting in environments requiring memory safety
  • Cross-platform development workflows
Alternatives:
  • GNU coreutils – Standard GNU implementation, Linux-centric, C-based
  • BusyBox – Single-binary approach, embedded systems focus, C-based
