The official README calls it a small CLI for giving command-line output some visual style, with both Rust and Node.js implementations. ### Projektgeschichte The official GitHub repository was created in January 2015 and originally grew as a Node.js package. The release-branch documentation describes two implementations, Rust and Node.js, with the Homebrew formula using the Rust release line. The project's release process distinguishes `vX.Y.Znodejs` tags from `vX.Y.Zrust` tags. The official release instructions also describe publishing to npm, crates.io, Homebrew, AUR, Fedora, and MacPorts, making the repository unusually explicit about its multi-ecosystem packaging workflow. ### Adoptionsgeschichte The README documents installation through Homebrew, AUR, Fedora, NixOS, MacPorts, Cargo, npm, and Yarn. The package metadata in this batch also shows Homebrew, Fedora, MacPorts, and Nix packaging. cfonts has stayed useful because terminal banners are a durable CLI trope: release scripts, demos, dev tools, and playful command output often want large colored text without depending on a full TUI framework. ### Wie es verwendet wird The CLI accepts text and options for font, alignment, colors, gradients, spacing, and related terminal presentation. The README documents supported characters and multiple font faces such as block, slick, tiny, grid, pallet, shade, chrome, simple, 3d, huge, and console. There is no official persistent config file or credential file documented for the CLI, so both locations are null. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren cfonts is package-nerd fun because the project straddles npm and crates.io while exposing the same tiny command name to users. Its release notes read like a tour of how one small CLI moves through multiple packaging ecosystems. It is also a reminder that not every packaged developer tool is about compilers or infrastructure. Sometimes the valuable artifact is a polished, dependency-light terminal affordance that makes other tools more readable or memorable. ### Zeitleiste - 2015: The dominikwilkowski/cfonts repository is created on GitHub. - 2023: The release stream includes both Rust and Node.js tags. - 2025: v3.3.1nodejs and v1.3.0rust releases show both implementations still tracked in the official repository. ### Related projects - npm and Yarn are the documented package channels for the Node.js implementation. - crates.io and docs.rs are the documented package and API documentation surfaces for the Rust implementation. - Homebrew, AUR, Fedora, NixOS, and MacPorts are documented downstream package channels in the official release notes. ### Quellen - - - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Details aus der Quelldatenbank - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** cfonts - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - Nix - cfonts: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/cf/cfonts/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - dnf - cfonts - 1.3.0-2.fc44: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: cfonts from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/e5ca8ce900cd68f5419e1c39ae517343100b306336cbaeb70a3c153121d95094-primary.xml.zst | Sexy ANSI fonts for the console | https://crates.io/crates/cfonts - MacPorts - cfonts: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: textproc/cfonts/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Verwandte Links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Matched curated package taxonomy and local package facts. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [cfonts](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/npm/cfonts/) - Same normalized package name appears in another local ecosystem.
