Hand Picked Command Line Tools From Cygwin to be used globally in modern windows without the need to install Cygwin.
These binaries are taken from recently updated Cygwin64 environment.
These tools all work without any issues in windows command prompt (cmd) and powershell.
Tools Included:
| Tool | Notes |
|---|---|
| cat | Prints out contents of text files |
| find | For finding files and folders with recursive support |
| grep | Filtering data |
| head | Reading first lines in a file |
| ls | Get file system listings |
| nc | For scanning ports. eg nc -zv 127.0.0.1 80 will show if port 80 is open on the server |
| sed | Handy tools for replacing strings |
| tail | For reading end and following text files (eg logs) |
| touch | Create or alter timestamp of a file |
| wc | Get word or line count of a file |
cd <where_to_install>
git clone git@github.com:JavaScriptDude/nixtools.git
Then add your new path to your PATH Environment variables and presto, you now have tail available from commandline :)
For each release, I will upload the zip's to VirusTotal for scanning and validation. Please always confirm files before running with Virus Total or other virus checking tools.
nc.exe may show up in some virus scanners but I have confirmed that this is the proper executable from Cygwin. Its likely showing up because its a handy tool for hackers to drop on servers to poke around and thus shows up in some virus redlists. Again, please confirm the files yourself.
