Versions:
hr-zig 1.1.2 is a command-line utility published by djmattyg007 that recreates the classic “hr” horizontal-rule generator in the Zig programming language; originally written as a self-teaching exercise, the program still fulfills its traditional role of quickly drawing text-based dividers in terminals, build logs, README files, or any script output that benefits from clear visual separation. Users invoke the binary with optional arguments for width, character, and color, producing repeatable ASCII or Unicode lines that integrate cleanly into CI pipelines, development journals, or markdown documentation. Because the entire codebase is implemented in Zig, the single-file executable compiles to a native, dependency-free binary for Windows, Linux, and macOS, making it attractive to developers who want a lightweight, reproducible tool without runtime baggage. The project remains at version 1.1.2—its first and only release—indicating a stable, feature-complete port rather than an evolving product. Although categorized under Text/Document Tools, hr-zig also serves as a concise reference implementation for programmers exploring Zig’s build system, cross-compilation, and standard library. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
