It sits in the long Unix tradition of tiny, composable filename-cleanup utilities. ### Project history The official GitHub repository was created in 2012. The project published v1.0.0 in August 2015 and v1.0.1 in January 2016, with a man page describing `slugify` as a command that converts filenames and directories to a web-friendly format. ### Adoption history The supplied package metadata lists Homebrew, Debian, and Ubuntu packages. That distribution pattern fits a simple CLI utility: useful enough for packaging, but intentionally narrow in scope. ### How it is used Slugify is commonly used to normalize filenames for the web, scripts, media libraries, or static-site workflows. Its documented dry-run mode is important because it lets users preview filesystem renames before changing files. ### Why package nerds care Package nerds care about tools like slugify because they are boring, inspectable Unix commands: a single executable, a man page, predictable options, and no service dependency. ### Timeline - 2012: Official GitHub repository created. - 2015: v1.0.0 published. - 2016: v1.0.1 and the January 2016 man page were published. ### Related projects - It is conceptually related to other filename normalization, transliteration, batch rename, and static-site publishing tools rather than to a larger framework. ### Sources - - - - - input.source_facts.package-manager ## 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:** slugify - **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 - slugify - 8.0.4-4: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: slugify from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | Python utility that generates clean, URL-safe slugs | https://github.com/un33k/python-slugify - Ubuntu apt - slugify - 8.0.4-1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: slugify from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | Python slugify application that handles unicode | https://github.com/un33k/python-slugify ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [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. - [pipe-rename](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pipe-rename/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, file-renaming, file-utilities. - [bash-language-server](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bash-language-server/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bash, cli, developer-tools. - [bash_unit](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bash-unit/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bash, cli, developer-tools. - [bashate](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bashate/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bash, cli, developer-tools. - [bashdb](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bashdb/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bash, cli, developer-tools. - [bashunit](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bashunit/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bash, cli, developer-tools. - [bat-extras](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bat-extras/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bash, cli, developer-tools. - [bats-core](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bats-core/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bash, cli, developer-tools. - [woff2](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/woff2/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
