history

Project history and usage

This `brew:naga` is the small terminal Snake game by Anay Joshi, not the Rust shader translator. Its GitHub repository was created on June 8, 2014, and the only GitHub release is `naga-v1.0`, also published on June 8, 2014 with the release name `Naga is born!`.

Project history

The available source history is thin: a C terminal game repository, BSD-3-Clause license, a 1.0 release, and repository activity that appears to have stopped after a push on November 4, 2015. The Homebrew formula installs version 1.0 and conflicts with `naga-cli` because both install a binary named `naga`.

Adoption history

There is no strong evidence of broad adoption. On July 1, 2026 the GitHub API showed 5 stars and 1 fork. Homebrew reported 43 installs over 365 days. This looks like a niche or historical CLI game package kept available because it builds and has a simple standalone binary.

How it is used

The practical use is simply launching `naga` in a terminal to play Snake. Package maintainers mostly need to care about the binary-name conflict with `naga-cli`, since the shader translation CLI is a much more active package with the same executable name.

Why package nerds care

Its significance is mostly as a naming collision and package-catalog disambiguation case. Without context, `naga` may mean the terminal game, the Rust shader translation library, or the `naga` binary installed by `naga-cli`.

security posture

No protected-tool coverage found yet

No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for naga. Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL.

Install behavior

No Homebrew post-install hook is recorded in formula metadata.
Homebrew bottle metadata is available for 13 platform targets.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
