Cash - Cross-platform Linux commands in pure ES6 (JavaScript)

[Arthur]

This is a bit like Cygwin, but written entirely in JavaScript.

 

Website / Usage

 

Cash is a project working on a cross-platform implementation of the most used Unix-based commands in pure JavaScript and with no external dependencies.

 

The goal of Cash is to open up these commands to the massive JavaScript community for the first time, and to provide a cleaner, simpler and flexible alternative to applications like Cygwin for those wanting the Linux feel on Windows.

 

Cash was built with strict attention to nearly exact implementations and excellent test coverage of over 200 unit tests.
