In [another post about GNU CoreUtils](add-a-bunch-of-cli-utilities-with-coreutils.md) I explained how to
install and use some of the provided utilities. The utilities I referenced were
`seq` and `realpath` which are novel on MacOS. There are other CoreUtils that
would conflict with existing system utilities. To avoid the conflicts, those
utilities are installed with `g` prefix.
would conflict with existing system utilities. To avoid the conflicts, [those

prefix](https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/729136).
