history
Project history and usage
hut is a command-line client for sr.ht, the SourceHut software forge. It exposes SourceHut services from the shell, including git, builds, tickets, patches, pages, meta/account features, and hub/project views as those APIs became available.
Project history
The SourceHut project entered public alpha in November 2018 after private development, and hut appeared later as a compact CLI companion for that ecosystem. The hut refs page shows v0.1.0 in March 2022 and a steady sequence of 0.x releases afterward.
Release notes show hut tracking SourceHut's expanding service surface. v0.7.0 added git webhook handling, git setup for send-email configuration, pages ACL handling, multi-resource update commands, and a package-maintainer note for setting the version via linker flags. v0.8.0 added a version command, meta pronouns/avatar handling, hub list/show commands, list and todo preferences, build tag filtering and updating, and instance-origin configuration.
Adoption history
hut is niche by design: it is most useful to SourceHut users who want forge operations in scripts or terminal workflows. Package metadata lists distribution across Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora-family, Alpine, Arch, Nix, MacPorts, and openSUSE ecosystems, which is broad for a forge-specific CLI.
How it is used
The tool is used for day-to-day sr.ht work from a terminal: cloning and configuring repositories, submitting or inspecting builds, handling tickets and patches, managing pages, and reading or updating account/project metadata.
Why package nerds care
hut is significant to SourceHut-oriented package users because it mirrors the forge's API-first, email-friendly culture in a scriptable binary. It is also a good example of a CLI whose package-manager value is higher than its standalone fame: without easy packaging, SourceHut automation stays locked behind manual web/API calls.
Timeline
- 2018: SourceHut began public alpha.
- 2022: hut v0.1.0 was tagged.
- 2023: v0.3.0 and v0.4.0 releases expanded the 0.x line.
- 2025: v0.7.0 added git webhook, git setup, pages ACL, and package-maintainer version guidance.
- 2026: v0.8.0 added hub commands, meta profile handling, build tag operations, and instance-origin configuration.
Related projects
- hut is tied to the SourceHut suite: git.sr.ht, builds.sr.ht, todo.sr.ht, lists.sr.ht, pages.sr.ht, meta.sr.ht, and hub.sr.ht. Its workflows also intersect with git send-email and project configuration files.
Sources
- SourceHut project pages, hut release refs, the hut repository summary, and package metadata were used.
