Its public tools are cpz, a faster alternative to cp, and rmz, a faster alternative to rm. ### Project history The GitHub repository was created in November 2021 and the official README frames the project around performance, efficiency, and usability. Rather than attempting to replace all of coreutils, the project explicitly limits its scope to selected modern Unix commands and treats portability and full option compatibility as non-goals. ### Adoption history Official project surfaces distribute fuc through GitHub releases and Rust crates for the individual commands. The Homebrew package facts also show distribution through Homebrew, Nix, and zypper, indicating that the package crossed from Rust ecosystem packaging into general operating-system package managers. ### How it is used Users install or package the cpz and rmz commands when they want faster copy and remove operations than traditional coreutils on modern Linux systems. The README points benchmark-minded users to comparison material and tells compatibility-focused users to prefer GNU coreutils or uutils coreutils. ### Why package nerds care fuc is interesting to package maintainers because it packages focused Rust rewrites of familiar Unix primitives while being clear about the compatibility boundary. That makes it a benchmark-and-alternative package rather than a transparent coreutils replacement. ### Timeline - 2021: Repository created on GitHub. - 2023: 1.0.0 release appears in the official GitHub releases. - 2024: 2.0.0 release appears in the official GitHub releases. - 2025: 3.0.0 release appears in the official GitHub releases. - 2026: 3.1.7 release appears in the official GitHub releases. ### Related projects - GNU coreutils is the traditional command suite whose cp and rm commands fuc compares against. - uutils coreutils is the Rust reimplementation that the fuc README names as the broader, more compatible Rust coreutils option. ### 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:** fuc - **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 - fuc: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/fu/fuc/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - zypper - fuc - 3.1.1-1.3: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: fuc from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/be8d3611d25469107f32075a1697e69ec57a2b850b42348a658cc671ad5ec2b50760d02c3e59524d50da9a11d5be799bdaffba2e166e8ca8858512e3c0bd665d-primary.xml.zst | Modern unix commands focused on performance | https://github.com/SUPERCILEX/fuc ## 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. - [Language runtime packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/language-runtime-packages/) - Matched language runtime, compiler, or interpreter metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [uutils-coreutils](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/uutils-coreutils/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, coreutils, rust, system. - [asitop](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/asitop/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, performance, system. - [bottom](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bottom/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, rust, system. - [brush](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/brush/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, rust, system. - [comtrya](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/comtrya/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, rust, system. - [crabz](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/crabz/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, rust, system. - [cyme](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cyme/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, rust, system. - [czkawka](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/czkawka/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, rust, system. - [fcp](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/fcp/) - Both packages touch the same language runtime or ecosystem.
