coreutils

coreutils are the basic command line tools you use daily. things like ls, cat and dd.

einfach provides many implementations of these core utilities.

gnu coreutils

gnu's coreutils implementation is the most popular coreutils implementation.

it's used by arch linux, debian, fedora and more.

busybox is a single binary implementation of coreutils. every single command is embedded into the busybox binary.

so ls would be busybox ls.

einfach manages symlinks for you so ls redirects to busybox.

this is the default in einfach and alpine.
