I love unix tools (grep, sed, cut, etc.), and while there are some good sub-systems (msys2, cygwin), they might be bit heavey. For that the windows version of busybox - https://frippery.org/busybox/ - and then I make sure my scripts are not using too powerful features of said tools (grep especially), such that the version in busybox works. Great, and also possible to port some of that back to linux (but I mostly use it to build something, or extract some data but want to share the .bat file with others - one day when I get better in PowerShell I'll try there more).
