MacGNU
Macgnu is a [linuxify](https://github.com/fabiomaia/linuxify) alternative.
If you want to linuxify your macOS core commands, but you may not want to install `libressl, file-formula, git, openssh, perl, python, rsync, unzip, vim` because you have already installed them. Then this is for you.
The macgnu is built on [linuxify](https://github.com/fabiomaia/linuxify):
Transform the macOS CLI into a fresh GNU/Linux CLI experience by
- installing missing GNU programs
- updating outdated GNU programs
- replacing pre-installed BSD programs with their preferred GNU implementation
Macgnu :
- won't install `libressl, file-formula, git, openssh, perl, python, rsync, unzip, vim`
- won't ask if you want to change your shell to the latest bash.
