## Project history and usage

Gruyere is a small Python terminal UI for viewing and killing processes listening on ports. Its README positions it as a prettier interactive alternative to manually combining port-inspection commands with process termination.

### Project history

The GitHub repository was created in February 2023. Its public release stream begins with v0.0.3 in October 2025 and reaches v0.1.0 in November 2025, indicating a young, focused utility rather than a long-lived ecosystem project.

### Adoption history

The project is packaged for Homebrew and installable through Python tool installers such as uv tool, pipx, and pip according to the README. Adoption evidence is therefore limited but fits a familiar developer-tool niche: quickly freeing a port during local development.

### How it is used

Users run `gruyere` to list listening processes, filter by port or user, inspect details, navigate with arrow or vim-style keys, and kill a selected process after confirmation. On macOS, the README notes that elevated privileges may be needed for system-wide process visibility.

### Why package nerds care

Gruyere is package-manager interesting mainly as a tiny TUI wrapper around operating-system process and port inspection. It packages a recurring shell workflow into one command while leaving permissions and platform differences visible to users.

### Timeline

- 2023: GitHub repository created.
- 2025: v0.0.3 release published.
- 2025: v0.1.0 release published.

### Related projects

- pipx and uv tool are documented installation paths for isolated Python CLI use.
- lsof, ss, netstat, and platform process tools are adjacent lower-level tools in the same troubleshooting workflow.
