Install

Download file GNU_Brewfile, then run:

brew bundle --file GNU_Brewfile

Configuration

All commands have been installed with the prefix g.

If you need to use these commands with their normal names, you can add some gnubin directory to your PATH from your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile like:

export PATH="/usr/local/opt/binutils/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/ed/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/findutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/gawk/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/gnu-indent/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/gnu-sed/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/gnu-tar/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/gnu-which/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/grep/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"

Additionally, you can access their man pages with normal names if you add the gnuman directory to your MANPATH from your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile as well:

export MANPATH="/usr/local/opt/binutils/share/gnuman:$MANPATH"
export MANPATH="/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnuman:$MANPATH"
export MANPATH="/usr/local/opt/ed/libexec/gnuman:$MANPATH"
export MANPATH="/usr/local/opt/findutils/libexec/gnuman:$MANPATH"
export MANPATH="/usr/local/opt/gawk/libexec/gnuman:$MANPATH"
export MANPATH="/usr/local/opt/gnu-indent/libexec/gnuman:$MANPATH"
export MANPATH="/usr/local/opt/gnu-sed/libexec/gnuman:$MANPATH"
export MANPATH="/usr/local/opt/gnu-tar/libexec/gnuman:$MANPATH"
export MANPATH="/usr/local/opt/gnu-which/libexec/gnuman:$MANPATH"
export MANPATH="/usr/local/opt/grep/libexec/gnuman:$MANPATH"

gdb

gdb requires special privileges to access Mach ports.

You will need to codesign the binary. For instructions, see here.

On 10.12 (Sierra) or later with SIP, you need to run this:

echo "set startup-with-shell off" >> ~/.gdbinit
