history

Project history and usage

sttr is a small cross-platform command-line tool for transforming strings, files, and piped text. Its niche is the everyday terminal toolbox: hashing, encoding, decoding, case conversion, JSON/YAML conversion, and similar text operations without opening a larger editor or scripting language.

Project history

Official README and documentation describe sttr as command-line software for quickly running transformation operations on strings. The project is implemented and distributed as a CLI with interactive, direct-argument, file-input, and pipeline modes.

Adoption history

Official installation docs list quick shell installation, Homebrew, Go installation, and release binaries; the README also lists Snap, Arch, Docker, Winget, Scoop, X-CMD, Webi, and FreeBSD binaries. The input package facts show Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, and Winget coverage.

How it is used

Common usage is `sttr` for an interactive menu, `sttr md5 "Hello World"` for direct operation, file input such as `sttr base64-encode image.jpg`, pipelines such as `echo "Hello World" | sttr md5`, and chained processors such as base64 followed by md5.

Why package nerds care

Package nerds care about sttr because it condenses a drawer of tiny text filters into one installable binary with shell-friendly input and output. It fits well in Homebrew, Winget, Nix, and other package indexes because it has no credential story and a clear CLI surface.

Timeline

  • Current: Official docs present sttr as a cross-platform CLI with interactive, direct, file, and pipeline usage.
  • Current: Official installation docs list package-manager and binary distribution paths across macOS, Linux, Windows, and FreeBSD.

Related projects

  • sttr overlaps with classic Unix text filters, checksum tools, base encoders, JSON/YAML converters, and shell pipelines, but the official sources present it as a single bundled CLI rather than a library framework.
