Its configuration model was built for CLI use: command-line flags override environment variables, which override JSON configuration files. The public release history starts with v0.1.0 in March 2018, followed by small 0.1.x releases and later 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 releases through March 2024. ### Adoptionsgeschichte define is packaged for Homebrew and also supports `go install`, so it fits both package-manager installation and Go developer workflows. ### Wie es verwendet wird The tool is used as a terminal reference lookup. Its README calls out command-line flags for one-off use, environment variables for API keys, and configuration files for dotfile-friendly defaults such as preferred sources. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren define is interesting as a small example of packaging API-backed reference data for the shell. It has the classic CLI shape - flags, environment variables, config files, release binaries, and `go install` - while depending on external dictionary services for some sources. ### Zeitleiste - 2018: v0.1.0 is published. - 2023: v0.2.0 and v0.3.0 are published. - 2024: v0.4.0 is published. ### Related projects - The README documents Merriam-Webster and Oxford dictionary API credentials as source-specific integrations. ### Quellen - - - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise Für define wurde kein passendes lokales Secret-Handling-Manifest gefunden.
