Like "rm,ls,grep" and other most used commands are included,
what we need to do is include the directory in the PATH environment.
Where to download it?

You might be looking for cygwin, which is a Linux-like environment for Windows or something more like Unix Utils, which are ports of GNU utilities to Windows. EDIT: Apparently, the download on the Unix Utils page is broken. However, if that is what you want, you can still get it from the Sourceforge download page. |

cygwin is a complete environment. If you're after native tools, then look at gnuwin32 |

I love MinGW. It gives you a Unix console complete with bash shell, and all your faves -- ls, rm, mv, cp, grep, tar, find, emacs, vim, svn, git, etc. When you're using it, you're in bash (or whatever your preferred shell is) just like a Linux box. It gives you searchable command history that survives the machine being restarted. I find its way of handling paths much more intuitive and convient than Cygwin's. |
