Minimalist repackaged subset of Cygwin. This currently contains:
cygwin1.dllthe core POSIX emulation layer used by Cygwin and MSYS2, LGPLv3+ licensedcygwin-console-helper.exesuppresses extra console popups, GPLv3+ licensedmintty.exea lightweight terminal emulator, GPLv3+ licenseddash.exea small POSIX shell, BSD-3 licensed (mostly)- the suckless sbase coreutils implementation, MIT licensed
img2sixel.exefrom libsixel to play around with sixel graphics, MIT licensedstty.exefrom GNU coreutils compiled with internationalization support disabled, GPLv3 licensed
This is intentionally tiny and has no package manager. If you want one of those for a POSIX environment on Windows, you should probably use Cygwin or MSYS2. If you just want coreutils and a shell (that can do tab completion, unlike dash), try busybox-w32 instead.
The build script in this repository is MIT licensed, but the binaries are an aggregation of the above components. If you know of permissively-licensed replacements that provide equivalent functionality for any of the above GPL-licensed pieces, open an issue and let me know.
