It packages the familiar developer reflex of searching Stack Overflow into a terminal UI, with multi-site search, configurable search engines, and install paths across common package managers. ### Historique du projet The git history shows an initial commit on May 30, 2020, followed by rapid 0.1 through 0.4 releases in June and July 2020. The changelog calls 0.3.5 the initial passable release and 0.4.0 the point where packaging, keybindings, and the changelog itself were formalized. The README frames the program as more than a Stack Overflow-only client: it can search any number of Stack Exchange sites, and it distinguishes itself from similar terminal helpers by supporting simultaneous multi-site searches. ### Historique d'adoption Official installation docs list Arch AUR, FreeBSD ports, NetBSD pkgsrc, Homebrew, MacPorts, Scoop, crates.io, and release binaries. The changelog records Homebrew tap support in 0.4.0, a Homebrew core formula in 0.4.1, Windows/Scoop in 0.4.3, NetBSD in 0.4.5, and MacPorts in 0.4.10. ### Modes d'utilisation The documented workflow is direct shell search: run so followed by a natural-language query, optionally choose Stack Exchange sites with --site/-s, and choose search backends such as StackExchange or Google. The configuration file stores defaults such as limit, lucky mode, sites, search_engine, copy_cmd, and api_key. ### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent Package nerds care about so because it sits at the intersection of terminal UI culture, Rust CLI distribution, and developer knowledge retrieval. It is also a compact example of a personal CLI growing into multi-platform packaging across Unix, Windows, BSD, and Rust's cargo ecosystem. ### Chronologie - 2020: Initial git commit. - 2020: v0.1.0 first tagged release. - 2020: v0.4.0 added Arch and Homebrew tap installation options. - 2020: v0.4.1 added Homebrew core formula support. - 2021: v0.4.5 added NetBSD installation documentation. - 2024: v0.4.10 fixed Cloudflare blocking issues and added MacPorts installation documentation. ### Related projects - The README explicitly compares so with how2 and howdoi, while positioning so around Stack Exchange network search rather than a single source. ### Sources - Official git tags from https://github.com/samtay/so.git - - - ## Notes de sécurité narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Risque Geiger:** vert / faible - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
