The standardized tooling is called POSIX, and you already have it installed — it’s easy enough to train the GNUisms out of your fingers and it will reward you in the end.
- nerdponx 5y agoThe standard is also the lowest common denominator. I think it's a useful skill to be able to write POSIX-only shell scripts, but in my day to day use I'd rather have the GNU extensions, knowing that they aren't portable. Plus the GNU versions of the programs generally are still portable anyway.
