Michael M. Builov

Michael M. Builov is an independent developer whose public GitHub presence centers on a single, tightly-focused tool: a native Windows port of the classic GNU sed stream editor. The project translates the ubiquitous Unix command-line text manipulation utility to Microsoft platforms, enabling users to perform non-interactive search, substitution, insertion, deletion, and transliteration operations on large files or piped data without opening an editor. Typical workflows include batch refactoring of source code, log-file sanitation, automated configuration updates, and rapid extraction of structured data from reports. Because the utility is invoked entirely from scripts or the console, it integrates seamlessly with PowerShell, CMD, scheduled tasks, CI pipelines, and makefile-driven builds, giving Windows developers and system administrators the same terse, expressive syntax that has long underpinned Linux shell automation. The implementation tracks the upstream GNU codebase, so shell scripts written for Linux behave identically on Windows, eliminating cross-platform friction. Binaries are provided in both 32- and 64-bit flavors, require no runtime dependencies, and are distributed under the permissive GPL license. Michael M. Builov’s sed is offered free of charge on get.nero.com, where the catalog supplies the latest release through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, supports bulk installation alongside other utilities, and always fetches the most recent build.
