项目历史

The README says duti was originally released into the public domain by Andrew Mortensen in 2008. The current GitHub repository was created in September 2012 and hosts the README, man page, and tagged releases.

The tool is built around Apple's Uniform Type Identifiers and related handler metadata. It can read settings from stdin, a settings file, an XML plist, or command-line arguments, making it easy to script default-app policy on macOS.

采用历史

duti's adoption is mostly in macOS automation circles: users install it through package managers or build it from source, then use it in setup scripts to make browser, editor, document, and URL-scheme defaults reproducible. The README also labels the project unsupported, which makes its persistence in package managers part of its history.

使用方式

The man page documents `duti -s` for setting handlers, `duti -x` for printing the default app for an extension, and file/plist input for bulk settings. A settings file contains bundle ID, UTI or URL scheme, and role fields such as viewer, editor, shell, all, or none.

为什么软件包爱好者会关心

duti matters because macOS developer machines are often rebuilt from scripts, and default application bindings are otherwise awkward to automate. It gives Homebrew/MacPorts/Nix users a small, scriptable bridge into Apple's UTI and handler database.

• The README links `dutis` as an interactive wrapper around duti. Conceptually, duti also sits next to macOS Launch Services tooling and Apple's UTI documentation.
