history
Project history and usage
code-minimap is a Rust command-line tool for rendering source-code minimaps as text. Its official README frames it as a fast way to generate IDE-like minimap output for terminal editors and related tooling.
Project history
The repository was created in 2020 and the README presents the tool as small, fast, memory efficient, zoomable, and multi-platform. The project publishes prebuilt binaries through GitHub releases and a Rust crate through crates.io.
Adoption history
Distribution expanded beyond Cargo: the official README lists AUR, Alpine, Gentoo GURU, Homebrew, MacPorts, Scoop, prebuilt GitHub release binaries, and crates.io. The input also records additional package-manager coverage including Debian, Nix, and zypper.
How it is used
The basic workflow is `code-minimap <file>` with options for horizontal and vertical scaling, producing a block-character minimap in the terminal. The README explicitly points to use in IDE-like minimap plugins for terminal text editors.
Why package nerds care
The package is notable as a tiny terminal-native Rust utility with unusually broad package-manager reach for its size. It is the sort of tool package maintainers like because it has a single executable, clear CLI behavior, prebuilt releases, and a crates.io source path.
Timeline
- 2020: GitHub repository created.
- 2020: v0.4.3 release published in November.
- 2021: v0.6.0 and follow-up releases expanded the 0.6 line.
- 2024: v0.6.8 released.
Related projects
- The README names minimap.vim as a related project and example consumer. It also sits near terminal editor tooling, Rust CLI utilities, crates.io packaging, and package-manager ecosystems such as Homebrew, MacPorts, Scoop, AUR, Alpine, Gentoo, Nix, Debian, and openSUSE.
