history
Project history and usage
hr is a tiny POSIX-shell command that prints horizontal rules across a terminal window, usually to visually separate logs, command output, or debugging sessions.
Project history
The project presents itself as a minimal terminal helper: a single shell script using POSIX shell and tput, installable by copying the script, running make install, or installing the Homebrew formula on macOS.
Adoption history
Its adoption footprint is small but package-manager friendly. The input metadata records packages for Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, and Alpine, matching the kind of small Unix utility that survives because it is scriptable, dependency-light, and easy to vendor.
How it is used
The README shows hr with no arguments for a default rule, with a custom character such as '*', and with multiple arguments to produce stacked ASCII patterns.
Why package nerds care
hr is package-nerd candy because it is the whole Unix small-tool philosophy reduced to a visual separator: no service, no state, no configuration, just a command that composes with a shell session.
Timeline
- 1.0: Public tagged release in the upstream Git repository.
- 1.5: Later tagged release in the upstream Git repository.
- Homebrew formula: Packaged as brew:hr according to input metadata.
Related projects
- Related tools include shell prompt theming, terminal log separators, and ad hoc printf or tput snippets that users often keep in shell profiles.
