Projektgeschichte

The official repository was created in May 2017. Its README describes a focused macOS utility that works even when run non-interactively, such as from a child process or with output redirected.

Adoptionsgeschichte

The batch input records Homebrew packaging, and the README points users to downloadable release binaries. Repository metadata captured during this run showed modest GitHub adoption, which fits the project's role as a tiny single-purpose helper rather than a broad framework.

Wie es verwendet wird

The command is installed as `terminal-size` and prints columns followed by rows. The README contrasts this with `tput cols`, showing that `terminal-size` keeps reporting the actual terminal size in situations where `tput` may fall back to a default.

Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

The package is useful because terminal dimensions are a small but annoying portability edge case for scripts. Packaging it in Homebrew gives macOS shell users a dependable native helper without pulling in a larger cross-platform stack.
