## 项目历史与用法

witr, short for the question 'Why is this running?', is a Go system-inspection CLI focused on explaining the cause behind running processes, open ports, containers, and file locks. The public repository was created in December 2025, and its README positions it as a causality layer above tools such as ps, top, lsof, ss, systemctl, and docker ps.

### 项目历史

The project appeared as a small single-purpose diagnostics tool and quickly acquired a broader interactive mode. Its README emphasizes both direct human-readable output and an interactive terminal dashboard with tabs for processes, ports, containers, and locks, reflecting a shift from one-shot inspection toward an operator-facing TUI.

### 采用历史

Although new, witr shows unusually strong early adoption signals for a system utility: the GitHub API showed more than 18,000 stars during this enrichment run, and the latest GitHub release at the time checked was v0.3.3, published on June 24, 2026. The README also points to packaging across multiple ecosystems, including Unix, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD, and several package managers, which is notable for a young CLI.

### 使用方式

witr is used when an operator sees a process, listening port, container, or lock and wants the chain of responsibility rather than another flat listing. It correlates process metadata, services, containers, shells, repositories, and related system state to explain where a running thing came from and how it was started.

### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心

Its package-nerd appeal is the tidy premise: most Unix inspection tools expose facts, while witr tries to narrate cause. That makes it a modern companion to classic observability commands, especially for developers moving between local machines, containers, service managers, and language-specific dev servers.
