## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

faketty is a Rust command wrapper that runs another command inside a pseudoterminal even when stdout or stderr are redirected.

### Projektgeschichte

The GitHub repository was created in September 2020. Its README frames the tool as similar to script(1), but with a key difference: faketty preserves distinct stdout and stderr streams instead of merging output through a single pty.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

faketty is distributed through Cargo and packaged by Homebrew and Nix according to the input metadata. That makes it a small developer-tool package for build logs, CI scripts, and command wrappers that need terminal-style output without losing stream separation.

### Wie es verwendet wird

The documented example wraps a build command such as bazel build while redirecting stdout and stderr to separate log files. This keeps programs that detect terminals from disabling colors, progress bars, or other tty-dependent behavior.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

faketty is a concise packaging target because it solves one Unix tooling edge case cleanly: preserve terminal behavior for the child process while keeping stdout and stderr demultiplexed for logs.

### Zeitleiste

- 2020-09: The GitHub repository is created.
- 2026-01: Version 1.0.20 is published on GitHub releases.

### Related projects

- faketty is explicitly related to script(1) and Unix pseudoterminal tooling, but exists for the separate-stream logging case that script(1) does not cover.
