A hobby project reimplementing GNU core utilities in Go, focusing on cross-platform compatibility.
Gcore-utils aims to provide Go-based alternatives to common GNU core utilities, with an emphasis on:
- Cross-platform compatibility (Windows, Linux, macOS)
- Modern Go implementation
- Simple and maintainable codebase
