🐇 hare(1) — the main character of the Hare toolchain 💅

okay so this is the hare page from the General Commands Manual — it's the front door to the whole Hare fam, and honestly? she's giving main character energy. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

hare — compile, run, test, and inspect Hare programs and modules. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

hare -h
hare version [-hv]
hare command [arguments...]

like, three whole moods. pick one bestie. 💖

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so hare -h prints help text. that's it. that's the whole thing. a little "hi, here's how this works" moment. 🙈

hare version prints version information for the hare program. and then it gets spicy:

• if -v is supplied, it also prints info about the build parameters 🔥
• if -vv is specified, you get detailed info about the version and build parameters, printed as shell environment variables, in a format that's consistent between versions and suitable for machine reading. iykyk — that's the machine-friendly slay. 💅

and then the subcommands, each with her own dedicated manpage (yes they all ate):

• hare-build(1) — compiles a Hare program or module. the builder. the grinder. ✨
• hare-cache(1) — manages the build cache. she keeps things tidy. 🎀
• hare-deps(1) — displays the dependency tree of a Hare program or module. literally the family tree of your code. 🌈
• hare-run(1) — compiles and runs a Hare program or module. two steps, one command, obsessed. 🔥
• hare-test(1) — compiles and runs tests for Hare code. the responsible one. we love her. 💜
• hare-tool(1) — runs a third-party Hare tool. guest star energy. ⭐
