Its niche is the everyday terminal toolbox: hashing, encoding, decoding, case conversion, JSON/YAML conversion, and similar text operations without opening a larger editor or scripting language. ### Project history Official README and documentation describe sttr as command-line software for quickly running transformation operations on strings. The project is implemented and distributed as a CLI with interactive, direct-argument, file-input, and pipeline modes. ### Adoption history Official installation docs list quick shell installation, Homebrew, Go installation, and release binaries; the README also lists Snap, Arch, Docker, Winget, Scoop, X-CMD, Webi, and FreeBSD binaries. The input package facts show Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, and Winget coverage. ### How it is used Common usage is `sttr` for an interactive menu, `sttr md5 "Hello World"` for direct operation, file input such as `sttr base64-encode image.jpg`, pipelines such as `echo "Hello World" | sttr md5`, and chained processors such as base64 followed by md5. ### Why package nerds care Package nerds care about sttr because it condenses a drawer of tiny text filters into one installable binary with shell-friendly input and output. It fits well in Homebrew, Winget, Nix, and other package indexes because it has no credential story and a clear CLI surface. ### Timeline - Current: Official docs present sttr as a cross-platform CLI with interactive, direct, file, and pipeline usage. - Current: Official installation docs list package-manager and binary distribution paths across macOS, Linux, Windows, and FreeBSD. ### Related projects - sttr overlaps with classic Unix text filters, checksum tools, base encoders, JSON/YAML converters, and shell pipelines, but the official sources present it as a single bundled CLI rather than a library framework. ### Sources - - - 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:** sttr - **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 - sttr: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/st/sttr/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - MacPorts - sttr: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: textproc/sttr/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - winget - abhimanyu003.sttr: normalized package name match | Windows Package Manager source index: abhimanyu003.sttr 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. - [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. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [uni](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/uni/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go, text-processing. - [xurls](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/xurls/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go, text-processing. - [align](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/align/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, text-processing. - [bsdconv](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bsdconv/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, text-processing. - [cconv](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cconv/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, text-processing. - [cmigemo](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cmigemo/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, text-processing. - [decasify](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/decasify/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, text-processing. - [desed](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/desed/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, text-processing. - [lpad-align](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/npm/lpad-align/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
