We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

The real problem is its bash script you need WSL2 to run it on windows.

Eh?

WSL2 is one way to run a Linux kernel (and thus native Linux executable binaries) in Windows.

And while bash is definitely very common on Linux, it has never by any means been a strictly Linux program.

It can be used on all kinds of operating systems -- mostly unix-like operating systems, but also including Windows using a POSIX compatibility shim like Cygwin.

People were using bash in 1989, years before Linux became the beginning of a thing. And folks have been using it on Windows since at least 1995, or maybe even earlier -- decades before WSL.

WSL2 is still the easiest way to get bash imo.
