NOTE: 30% of the program/package was not made by AI but only >30% of the README,etc
Have you ever typed ps | grep edge , ls -la | grep file or cat linuxmint.iso | sha256sum (real scenarios) only to realize you are in windows and have to use stupid powershell commands or use WSL (LAGGY+env issues)? That's why mkcd exists! Instantly get ALL linux utilities in ANY shell/term emulator (Powershell,cmd,etc) with a simple install process:
pip install mkcd then python -c "import mkcd;mkcd.install()" then restart terminal
For more info, check the repo.

itzmetanjim Covers 1 devlog and 4h 43m

(note: i accidentally deleted it to submit to another YSWS before realizing its double dippable, please please accept, like this fixes a REAL problem many people had + the package somehow has 2.59k downloads)

Added comparision + badges to README, made final touches

I found out the project somehow has 2.59k downloads? I added badges to flex that as well. If you are wondering why not use MSYS2 (or git bash)/Coreutils/Busybox/WSL, you may want to check the comparision out.

Added all needed utilities, fixed powershell problems

I added a section to the installer that removes conflicting aliases and saves the config. When uninstalling, it restores the previous config.

Made readme better

Now its less confusing

Added more utilities

Utilities like sha256sum and ps have been added. ls cat etc still have problems

Added some utilities, PowerShell problems

Only a few utils have been added for now. And the default PowerShell aliases cause problems for commands like cat ls cp mv etc so you have to type .exe at the end for now.

Made cool logo

Typed 'mkcd' in Roboto Mono with the text cursor visible then put a terminal icon. Isn't this cool?
