The README presents D2 as a language, command-line renderer, and Go library, with official documentation, a playground, themes, language tooling, plugins, and export formats. ### Adoption history D2 entered the diagram-as-code ecosystem as another text-to-diagram option alongside tools such as Graphviz and Mermaid. Its README emphasizes package-manager installation, editor/tooling support, and a list of open-source projects that document with D2. ### How it is used The usual workflow is to write a .d2 file and run the d2 CLI to produce SVG, PNG, or PDF output. D2 can also be used as a Go library and can swap layout engines such as ELK or TALA. ### Why package nerds care D2 is package-manager friendly because it ships as a single CLI for docs pipelines: install it with a system package manager, keep diagrams as source text, and regenerate images in builds or documentation sites. ### Timeline - 2022: D2 repository created. - 2022: Early v0.1.x tags published. - 2025: v0.7.1 release published. ### Related projects - D2 relates to diagram-as-code tools, Graphviz-style layout engines, ELK, TALA, Go documentation pipelines, and editor plugins. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes generalized runtime or code generation signal. - **Geiger risk:** yellow / medium - generalized runtime or code generation signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** d2 - **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 - d2: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/d2/d2/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - dnf - d2 - 0.6.9-8.fc44: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: d2 from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/e5ca8ce900cd68f5419e1c39ae517343100b306336cbaeb70a3c153121d95094-primary.xml.zst | Modern diagram scripting language that turns text to diagrams | https://github.com/terrastruct/d2 - pacman - d2 - 0.7.1-2: normalized package name match | Arch Linux sync databases: d2 from https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db.tar.gz | A modern diagram scripting language that turns text to diagrams | https://d2lang.com - zypper - d2 - 0.7.1-1.4: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: d2 from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/be8d3611d25469107f32075a1697e69ec57a2b850b42348a658cc671ad5ec2b50760d02c3e59524d50da9a11d5be799bdaffba2e166e8ca8858512e3c0bd665d-primary.xml.zst | CLI tool and modern declarative language that turns text to diagrams | https://github.com/terrastruct/d2 - MacPorts - d2: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: graphics/d2/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Scoop - main/d2: normalized package name match | Scoop official bucket manifest trees: bucket/d2.json from https://api.github.com/repos/ScoopInstaller/Main/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - winget - Terrastruct.D2: normalized package name match | Windows Package Manager source index: Terrastruct.D2 from https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix ## Related links - [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. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [ditaa](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ditaa/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, diagramming, diagrams. - [plantuml](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/plantuml/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, diagramming, diagrams. - [clang-uml](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/clang-uml/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, diagramming. - [diagram](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/diagram/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, diagramming. - [dpic](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dpic/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, diagramming. - [eralchemy](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/eralchemy/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, diagramming. - [graphviz2drawio](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/graphviz2drawio/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, diagramming. - [likec4](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/likec4/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, diagramming. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
