项目历史

The public GitHub repository was created in June 2021. The README explains the name as a shortening of 'hack', a rougher form of cut, and describes the tool as a near drop-in replacement for cut that fills a gap between cut and awk.

The project deliberately does not try to become a complete CSV/TSV parser like xsv. Its stated non-goal is respecting full quoting rules; it remains a line-by-line splitter in the spirit of cut.

采用历史

The README documents installation through Homebrew/Linuxbrew, conda-forge, MacPorts, Debian packages from GitHub releases, Cargo, and optimized release binaries. Input package facts also list Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, and pacman packaging.

The README includes a Repology packaging-status badge, which signals that the maintainer expects hck to be tracked across multiple distribution ecosystems.

使用方式

Typical use is to pipe text or process files with field selections such as hck -f2,1,3-, choose regex delimiters for whitespace or unusual separators, select columns by header literal or regex, and optionally process compressed inputs when a local decompressor exists.

为什么软件包爱好者会关心

hck is the kind of package CLI enthusiasts like: a small Rust replacement for a standard Unix primitive that adds just enough practical ergonomics for messy data exploration while staying scriptable. Its value is not replacing awk or CSV parsers, but reducing common one-off pipelines.
