The automatically generated standalone batch file (creates all needed files and runs the main script) weighs less than 500 kilobytes!</p> <h2> Installation </h2> <p>Installing KIB in Batch is quite simple. You must go to <a href="https://github.com/KIB-in-Batch/kib-in-batch/releases/latest" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/KIB-in-Batch/kib-in-batch/releases/latest</a> and download <code>kib_in_batch.zip</code>.</p> <h2> Use cases </h2> <p>You may use this over other UNIX-like environments for IoT devices, which have very limited resources. Cygwin, Msys2 and WSL are heavy.</p> <p>You may also use this when SSHing to a Windows Server.</p> <h2> Links </h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://github.com/KIB-in-Batch/kib-in-batch" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/KIB-in-Batch/kib-in-batch</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/KIB-in-Batch" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/KIB-in-Batch</a></li> </ul> <h2> Notes </h2> <ul> <li>KIB in Batch is a recursive acronym.
