granola7397yPowerShell has aliases of Linux command names, this is not new.
Examples:
ls -> Get-ChildItem
cat -> Get-Content
pwd -> Get-Location
cp -> Copy-Item

@gitreflog He may have, but this is possible without git installed. PowerShell now supports UNIX Shell commands aliases,
"The core PowerShell language is based on the POSIX 1003.2 grammar for the Korn shell."

Mitiko63557yPowershell is like the best thing ever!
It's way easier to find/learn/create new commands since they are all
Verb-Noun (not that I don't use the aliases)
I'm looking forward to seeing more devs using it on a daily basis

TIL I can run Linux commands in Powershell. I don't know what I did. I didn't realize that I was in Powershell instead of WSL. But only to a few commands though. Can't run uname, free, top or other system like commands so far. Must be part of some Windows 10 update that I missed.
