<hr /> for your terminal

Tired of not finding things in your terminal because there's a lot of logs and garbage? Tired of destroying the Enter key by creating a "void zone" in your terminal so that you can see the error that you're trying to debug?

Use the old <hr /> tag, but in your terminal. How? Allow me to explain:

$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LuRsT/hr/master/hr > ~/bin/hr
(Examine ~/bin/hr)
$ chmod +x ~/bin/hr

Note: You should have ~/bin in your $PATH for this to work.

$ git clone [email protected]:LuRsT/hr.git
$ cd hr

Open Makefile and edit the PREFIX variable, specifying the directory where you'd want the software to reside. Then:

$ sudo make install

OSX users can install using Homebrew:

$ brew install hr

$ hr
################################## # Till the end of your terminal window
$

$ hr '*'
********************************** # Till the end of your terminal window
$

You can also make "beautiful" ASCII patterns

$ hr - '#' -
----------------------------------
##################################
----------------------------------
$ hr '-#-' '-' '-#-'
-#--#--#--#--#--#--#--#--#--#--#--
----------------------------------
-#--#--#--#--#--#--#--#--#--#--#--

That's it, no requirements, just pure old bash and tput, check the source, it's free.

Don't like bash? Don't worry, some developers made hr in their language of choice, check them out:

• https://github.com/jaredsohn/hr (Javascript/node.js)
• https://github.com/euangoddard/hr.py (Python)
• https://github.com/ivantsepp/hr (Ruby)
• https://github.com/bit-shift/hr-hs (Haskell)
• https://github.com/xuxiaodong/hr (Perl)
• https://github.com/ajkerrigan/pshr (Powershell)
• https://github.com/HalosGhost/.bin/blob/master/src/hr.c (C)
• https://github.com/djmattyg007/hr (C) (takes integer argument for number of lines, rather than allowing choice of characters)
• https://github.com/lurst/hr.jl (Julia)

NOTE: Do send me a pull request if you've made another implementation of hr in another language to add it to the list.
