Is there any hope that windows will create their own version of homebrew for native bash, zsh and/or other linux based command line apps?


I'd say if you're looking for linux commandline applications, I'd recommend the Windows Subsystem for Linux, which lets linux binaries run unmodified on Windows.

As far as package managers are concerned, I've had lots of success with Chocolatey. If developers are willing to port their commandline applications to Windows, then I'm sure they'd be welcome additions to Chocolatey


I just saw WSL 2 land and it addresses most of my complains about WSL. Well played. :)
