Oxidation is a list of Rust-based command-line, TUI, and GUI tools. This list started out
as a way to track oxidized recreations of coreutils utilities. It quickly
grew to include any Rust-based CLI, TUI, and GUI apps and utilities that I happened to run across. Note: while the apps
listed here can be used as core system utilities, most of them are not 100% drop-in replacements. That being said, you
will find that these Rust-based equivalent tools typically implement most of the same functionality found in their
coreutils brethren, offer additional, modern features, and are often faster overall. I'm sure that I missed plenty of
of awesome oxidized utilities when I first compiled this list. Please feel free to contact me with anything that you feel
should be added, or issue a pull request and I'll get to it as soon as I can. Thanks!
Rust-based replacements for coreutils system commands. You can easily use all of these tools as replacements for your
current system tools/commands. The easiest way to implement this change is via aliases. Not sure where to start? Take a
look at the documentation for your particular shell and how it handles aliases.
