The batch metadata lists Homebrew packaging, and crates.io metadata records a published Rust crate. ### How it is used hexhog is used as an interactive terminal tool for inspecting and editing bytes in a file. Its README frames the workflow as direct file editing rather than as a dump converter. ### Why package nerds care The project is package-relevant as a young Rust entrant in the crowded hex-viewer/editor niche, with cargo as the natural upstream channel and Homebrew/AUR packaging giving it a wider install surface. ### Timeline - 2025: GitHub repository metadata and the README copyright line place the project's public packaging era in 2025. - 2025: crates.io records the hexhog crate. - 2025-2026: README-documented packaging includes cargo, AUR, and Homebrew. ### Related projects - Related projects include terminal hex tools such as hexyl, hexer, bvi, xxd, and graphical editors used for binary inspection. ### Sources - GitHub README provides usage, feature, packaging, and configuration notes. - Homebrew formula metadata supports the Homebrew package identity. - crates.io metadata supports the Rust crate identity. ## 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:** hexhog - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## 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. - [hexer](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/hexer/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: binary-files, cli, developer-tools, editor, hex-editor. - [hyx](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/hyx/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: binary-files, cli, developer-tools, editor, hex-editor. - [code-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/code-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, editor. - [hexyl](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/hexyl/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: binary-files, cli, developer-tools, hex-viewer. - [neovide](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/neovide/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, editor. - [neovim](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/neovim/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, editor. - [neovim-qt](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/neovim-qt/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, editor. - [neovim-remote](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/neovim-remote/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, editor. - [hexcurse](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/hexcurse/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
