BING (Bing Is Not GNU)

A modern, lightweight alternative to GNU Coreutils, built from scratch with clean, permissive licenses.


📖 Overview

BING is a unified collection of minimalistic, high-performance command-line utilities written in pure C, Go, Rust, FASM/NASM and part of C++. Designed for POSIX-compliant systems, it completely avoids the bloat, legacy baggage, and restrictive GPL licensing of traditional GNU implementations. So, Fuck You GNU! Linux belongs to Linus and the community-not your bloated legacy.

Licensed under permissive terms (such as the BSD 3-Clause License or Public Domain where appropriate), BING gives developers and system administrators full freedom to modify, redistribute, and integrate these tools into any pipeline without friction.


🧰 Included Utilities

  • cing — A clean-room alternative to cat for high-performance stream copying and file reading.
  • ctrue — A minimalist implementation of true.
  • cfalse — A minimalist implementation of false.
  • cecho — a clean-room implementation of echo.
  • cpwd — A minimalist implementation of pwd.
  • cid — A minimalist realization of id.
  • ccommand — A clean-room, standalone POSIX alternative to the shell built-in command utility of posix-command.
  • cmkdir — A realization of mkdir.

✨ Core Features

  • Zero Bloat: Stripped of unnecessary legacy layers, focusing purely on raw performance and simplicity.
  • Permissive Licensing: Fully open-source under BSD 3-Clause and Public Domain terms.
  • Standard-Compliant: Designed to behave predictably in standard POSIX environments.
  • Global or Local Installation: Easily build and install utilities directly into your system or local binary paths.
