Its public GitHub metadata records the repository as created on January 17, 2022. ### Adoption history The supplied package facts list codevis in Homebrew and Nix. That is consistent with a small, self-contained developer utility whose main packaging concern is exposing the codevis executable. ### How it is used The README shows codevis being run with an input directory and optional output file, producing a PNG visualization of a repository or directory tree. It also points users to --help for the full CLI surface. ### Why package nerds care codevis matters to package nerds as a compact example of a Rust visualization CLI distributed through cargo and system package managers, with no daemon, account, or runtime service attached. ### Timeline - 2022: The official GitHub repository metadata records repository creation on January 17. - README: codevis documents cargo installation and directory-to-image CLI usage. ### Related projects - The README points to the author's related codemov video project and codevis-gui graphical interface. ### Sources - - ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** codevis - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - codevis: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/co/codevis/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/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. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [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. - [oniguruma](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/oniguruma/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [pkgconf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pkgconf/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [git-graph](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-graph/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, rust, visualization. - [chronograf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/chronograf/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, visualization. - [codesnap](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/codesnap/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, image-generation, rust, syntax-highlighting. - [flamegraph](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/flamegraph/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, visualization. - [git-big-picture](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-big-picture/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, visualization. - [gprof2dot](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gprof2dot/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, visualization. - [logstalgia](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/logstalgia/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, visualization. - [qcachegrind](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/qcachegrind/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, visualization. - [silicon](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/silicon/) - Both packages touch the same language runtime or ecosystem.
