It is aimed at quick HTTP benchmarking from the command line, with concurrency, duration, QPS limiting, HTTP/2, experimental HTTP/3, proxy, TLS, authentication, and request-body options. ### Project history The hatoo/oha repository was created on 2020-03-02. Its README explicitly says oha is inspired by rakyll/hey, written in Rust, powered by tokio, and uses ratatui for the TUI. The hey relationship is important historically: hey is itself described as an ApacheBench replacement that was originally called boom before being renamed to avoid binary-name conflicts. oha keeps the small-load-generator spirit but differentiates itself with animated terminal feedback and a Rust async implementation. ### Adoption history oha crossed from Rust packaging into OS package managers. The README documents cargo install, pre-built GitHub releases, Arch Linux, Homebrew, WinGet, Debian via Azlux's repository, X-CMD, and an official container image. Homebrew Formulae reported stable version 1.14.0 and 5,312 installs in its 365-day analytics window when fetched on 2026-07-01. GitHub API metadata fetched on 2026-07-01 reported 10,351 stars and 291 forks, which is a strong signal for a focused benchmarking CLI. The repository topics include benchmark, HTTP, HTTP/2, load-generator, load-testing, Rust, TUI, and command-line. ### How it is used A typical run points oha at a URL and supplies request count, concurrency, duration, QPS, headers, body data, HTTP method, proxy settings, TLS options, redirect limits, or HTTP version flags. By default it displays a live TUI, while --no-tui supports script-friendly runs. The README notes that oha's -q option is an overall query-per-second limit rather than a per-worker limit, a small but important semantic difference from hey. It also warns users to raise open-file limits for large concurrency values, which places it in the practical load-testing toolbox rather than purely synthetic benchmarking. ### Why package nerds care oha is package-nerd-significant because it shows the modern Rust CLI distribution pattern: crates.io installation, GitHub release binaries, Homebrew bottles, Arch packaging, WinGet, containers, optional feature flags, and TLS backend choices. It is also a concise example of a tool winning mindshare by improving the UX of an older CLI category rather than inventing a new benchmark model. ### Timeline - 2020-03-02: the hatoo/oha GitHub repository was created. - 2026-07-01: Homebrew Formulae listed stable version 1.14.0. - 2026-07-01: GitHub API metadata reported 10,351 stars and 291 forks. ### Related projects - oha is directly related to rakyll/hey, and through hey to the older boom load generator. Its Rust implementation uses tokio for async runtime behavior and ratatui for the terminal interface. ### Sources - - - - - - ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** oha - **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 - oha: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/oh/oha/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - apk - oha - 1.14.0-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: oha from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | HTTP load generator with TUI animation | https://github.com/hatoo/oha/tree/master - apk - oha-doc - 1.14.0-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: oha-doc from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | HTTP load generator with TUI animation (documentation) | https://github.com/hatoo/oha/tree/master - pacman - oha - 1.14.0-2: normalized package name match | Arch Linux sync databases: oha from https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db.tar.gz | Ohayou(おはよう), HTTP load generator, inspired by rakyll/hey with tui animation | https://github.com/hatoo/oha - MacPorts - oha: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: net/oha/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Scoop - main/oha: normalized package name match | Scoop official bucket manifest trees: bucket/oha.json from https://api.github.com/repos/ScoopInstaller/Main/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - winget - hatoo.oha: normalized package name match | Windows Package Manager source index: hatoo.oha from https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [cmake](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cmake/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [pkgconf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pkgconf/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [fortio](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/fortio/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, http, load-testing, networking. - [bombardier](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bombardier/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: benchmark, cli, http, load-testing, networking. - [getparty](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/getparty/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, http, networking. - [httpflow](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/httpflow/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, http, networking. - [httping](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/httping/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, http, networking. - [httpry](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/httpry/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, http, networking. - [neon](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/neon/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, http, networking. - [proxygen](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/proxygen/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, http, networking. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
