The GitHub README describes it as a package for HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, JSON, SVG, and XML, with a MIME-type dispatch interface that lets applications add their own minifiers or redirect work to external tools. ### Project history The project grew from a library into a practical CLI used in build pipelines: the command README documents installation from source, Go install, Docker usage, recursive and in-place minification, bundling, MIME/extension handling, and format-specific options such as CSS precision and HTML comment or tag preservation. The public web service at go.tacodewolff.nl/minify exposes the same core formats for interactive use. ### How it is used Its ecosystem niche is Go-native asset minification. It competes with Node-centered tools and single-format minifiers by covering several web asset types in one Go module, using streaming high-performance implementations, and offering bindings outside Go, including JavaScript and .NET bindings noted by the project. Hugo community discussions and issues around Hugo's --minify behavior show the library's use inside static-site generation workflows. ### 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:** minify - **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 - Debian apt - minify - 2.20.37-1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: minify from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | CLI implementation of the Go minify library package | https://github.com/tdewolff/minify - Nix - minify: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/mi/minify/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Ubuntu apt - minify - 2.20.17-1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: minify from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | CLI implementation of the Go minify library package | https://github.com/tdewolff/minify - apk - minify - 2.24.11-r2: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: minify from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Minifier CLI for HTML, CSS, JS, JSON, SVG and XML | https://github.com/tdewolff/minify - apk - minify-bash-completion - 2.24.11-r2: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: minify-bash-completion from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Bash completions for minify | https://github.com/tdewolff/minify - dnf - minify - 2.24.8-3.fc44: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: minify from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/e5ca8ce900cd68f5419e1c39ae517343100b306336cbaeb70a3c153121d95094-primary.xml.zst | Go minifiers for web formats | https://github.com/tdewolff/minify - MacPorts - minify: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: devel/minify/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Chocolatey - minify: normalized package name match | Chocolatey community package catalog: minify from http://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/Packages?$filter=IsLatestVersion&$select=Id&$top=1000&$skiptoken='7.158','newfiletime' - Scoop - main/minify: normalized package name match | Scoop official bucket manifest trees: bucket/minify.json from https://api.github.com/repos/ScoopInstaller/Main/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [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. - [Language runtime packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/language-runtime-packages/) - Matched language runtime, compiler, or interpreter metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [js-beautify](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/js-beautify/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, css, developer-tools, html, javascript. - [htmlcompressor](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/htmlcompressor/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, html, minification, minifier. - [angular-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/angular-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, javascript, web-development. - [css-crush](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/css-crush/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, css, developer-tools, web-development. - [esbuild](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/esbuild/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, css, developer-tools, javascript, minifier. - [gwt](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gwt/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, javascript, web-development. - [nuxi](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/nuxi/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, javascript, web-development. - [sassc](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/sassc/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, css, developer-tools, web-development. - [minify](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/npm/minify/) - Same normalized package name appears in another local ecosystem.
