## 项目历史与用法

distribution is a terminal histogram and graphing tool for turning command output into character-based charts. Its appeal is the old Unix habit of inserting one small filter into a pipeline to make text data easier to inspect.

### 项目历史

The README says the original scripts were written in Perl and Python by Tim Ellis, then expanded beyond simple frequency histograms into time-series and arbitrary x-axis graphs. The current canonical README also records a project-control transfer from the previous maintainer to wizzat.

### 采用历史

distribution's own installation notes mention Homebrew as the simple install route, while the input package facts show availability in Brew and Nix. That is modest adoption, but enough to place it in the family of small terminal data-inspection packages.

### 使用方式

The common pattern is to pipe a list, count stream, syslog slice, process list, or du output into distribution and let it render a proportional ASCII or Unicode chart. It supports tokenization, pre-aggregated key/value input, numeric-only graphs, colors, terminal-size aware output, and an rcfile for preferred defaults.

### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心

distribution is package-nerdy because it makes ad hoc shell observability friendlier without asking users to leave the terminal or produce a heavyweight plot. It is the kind of tiny data tool that survives in package managers because it composes with everything.

### 时间线

- 2017: Current canonical GitHub repository created.
- 2017: README records transfer of project control to the wizzat distribution repository.
- 2022: Repository metadata shows continued maintenance activity into the early 2020s.

### Related projects

- The README names holman's spark as a related compact graphing project, contrasting spark's smaller output with distribution's more verbose higher-resolution charts.
- Standard Unix tools such as sort, uniq, du, awk, and ps are common upstream producers for distribution pipelines.
