## Project history and usage

lazycut is a Go terminal video trimmer that uses FFmpeg and Chafa to provide interactive media preview and export from the command line. Its public record is brief, but the package is interesting because it brings a traditionally GUI-heavy workflow into a Homebrew-installed TUI.

### Project history

The public repository was created on January 18, 2026. Releases followed quickly, from v0.1.2 on January 18, 2026, through v0.3.9 on March 26, 2026.

### Adoption history

Official installation instructions list Homebrew for macOS and `go install` from source. GitHub repository metadata recorded 869 stars on July 1, 2026, which is meaningful visibility for a young single-purpose media CLI.

### How it is used

The README documents `lazycut video.mp4` for an interactive TUI, `lazycut trim` for explicit in/out trimming, and `lazycut probe` for inspection. It supports keyboard-driven seeking, marking sections, preview, export, undo, mute, and aspect-ratio conversion.

### Why package nerds care

lazycut is package-nerd candy because it stacks classic Unix media tooling behind a discoverable TUI: FFmpeg does the media work, Chafa handles terminal graphics, and Homebrew makes the whole bundle one command away.

### Timeline

- 2026: Public GitHub repository created
- 2026: v0.1.2 release published
- 2026: v0.3.9 release published

### Related projects

- FFmpeg is the core media-processing dependency, while Chafa provides terminal graphics. lazycut sits near other terminal media tools that wrap complex command-line pipelines in keyboard-first interfaces.
