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 ` 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. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** code-minimap - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Debian apt - code-minimap - 0.6.8+dfsg-1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: code-minimap from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | minimap for source code | https://github.com/wfxr/code-minimap - Nix - code-minimap: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/co/code-minimap/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - apk - code-minimap - 0.6.8-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: code-minimap from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | A high performance code minimap render | https://github.com/wfxr/code-minimap - apk - code-minimap-doc - 0.6.8-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: code-minimap-doc from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | A high performance code minimap render (documentation) | https://github.com/wfxr/code-minimap - zypper - code-minimap - 0.6.8-1.4: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: code-minimap from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/be8d3611d25469107f32075a1697e69ec57a2b850b42348a658cc671ad5ec2b50760d02c3e59524d50da9a11d5be799bdaffba2e166e8ca8858512e3c0bd665d-primary.xml.zst | A high performance code minimap render | https://github.com/wfxr/code-minimap - MacPorts - code-minimap: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: textproc/code-minimap/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Scoop - extras/code-minimap: normalized package name match | Scoop official bucket manifest trees: bucket/code-minimap.json from https://api.github.com/repos/ScoopInstaller/Extras/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [silicon](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/silicon/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-visualization, developer-tools, rust. - [codevis](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/codevis/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-visualization, developer-tools, rust. - [genact](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/genact/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, rust, terminal. - [gitu](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gitu/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, rust, terminal. - [gitui](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gitui/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, rust, terminal. - [halp](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/halp/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, rust, terminal. - [install-nothing](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/install-nothing/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, rust, terminal. - [moor](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/moor/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, rust, terminal. - [csview](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/csview/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
