プロジェクトの歴史

The GitHub repository was created in March 2022, and crates.io records the httm crate beginning in May 2022. The project grew around a Unix idea: expose snapshot history at the file level, rather than treating snapshots mainly as dataset-wide rollback machinery.

採用の歴史

httm reached package-manager users through crates.io and later through system package channels represented in the input metadata, including Homebrew, Alpine, and Nix. GitHub topics and README examples place its audience among ZFS, btrfs, FreeBSD, Linux, homelab, and shell users.

使われ方

Users run httm against one or more paths to print unique versions by size and modification time, browse versions interactively, output JSON, find deleted files in snapshots, and work with alternate stores such as Time Machine or mounted Restic repositories.

パッケージ好きにとっての重要性

The package is interesting because it turns filesystem snapshot plumbing into a small composable CLI. The related ounce and bowie tools show the same package-nerd pattern: wrap a focused executable into shell workflows for dynamic snapshots and diffing historical file versions.
