### 🦀  Oxidation 🦀



Oxidation is a list of [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/)-based command-line, TUI, and GUI tools. This list started out 

as a way to track oxidized recreations of [coreutils](https://www.gnu.org/software/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!



### 🦀 Core Utilities



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.
