# Install hr with Homebrew, apk, MacPorts, Nix for your terminal window. Version 1.5 via Homebrew; verified from local package data. ## Install ```sh sudo av install brew:hr ``` Additional install commands: ### macOS - Homebrew (100%): ```sh brew install hr ``` Evidence: local Homebrew formula metadata - MacPorts (94%): ```sh sudo port install hr ``` Evidence: MacPorts ports tree: sysutils/hr/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ### Linux - apk (92%): ```sh sudo apk add hr ``` Evidence: Alpine Linux edge package indexes: hr from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz - Nix (92%): ```sh nix profile install nixpkgs#hr ``` Evidence: nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/hr/hr/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Package facts - **Package key:** brew:hr - **Package manager:** Homebrew - **Package manager page:** - **Version:** 1.5 - **Source summary:** for your terminal window - **Homepage:** - **Repository:** - **Upstream docs:** - **License:** MIT - **Source archive:** - **Generated:** 2026-07-08T18:08:21+00:00 ## Executables - hr (cli) - hr (alias) ## Install behavior - Post-install hook: not defined - Bottle: available on all ## Freshness - Page generated: 2026-07-08 - Package-manager version: 1.5 - Local data: ok - Upstream repository: https://github.com/LuRsT/hr - Upstream latest detected: 1.5 (current) - info: No package-manager update timestamp was available. ## 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. ### 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:** hr - **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 - hr: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/hr/hr/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - apk - hr - 1.5-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: hr from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Script that prints characters in the entire width of the terminal | https://github.com/LuRsT/hr - apk - hr-doc - 1.5-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: hr-doc from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Script that prints characters in the entire width of the terminal (documentation) | https://github.com/LuRsT/hr - MacPorts - hr: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: sysutils/hr/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/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. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Homebrew utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew-utility-packages/) - Matched Homebrew package provider. - [lolcat](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/lolcat/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, system, terminal, terminal-utilities. - [lolcrab](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/lolcrab/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, system, terminal, terminal-utilities. - [bashish](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bashish/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, shell, system, terminal. - [clifm](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/clifm/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, shell, system, terminal. - [murex](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/murex/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, shell, system, terminal. - [nsh](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/nsh/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, shell, system, terminal. - [nushell](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/nushell/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, shell, system, terminal. - [rsync-time-backup](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rsync-time-backup/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, shell, system, terminal. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
