spark is a tiny POSIX shell script that renders Unicode sparkline graphs (▁▂▃▅▇) from a list of numbers passed on the command line or via a pipe. It is designed to compose with other Unix tools like git, awk, and curl.
Use cases
- visualize numbers as sparklines in the terminal
- graph git commit counts per author in the shell
- pipe csv data into a quick terminal chart
- add a mini graph to a shell prompt
- quickly eyeball trends in command output
When to choose
- you want zero-dependency, single-file sparklines in any shell pipeline
- you need tiny inline charts for prompts or scripts
- you work in Unix pipelines and want quick visual summaries
When to avoid
- you need axes, labels, or interactive charts
- you want rich plotting libraries with multiple chart types
- your terminal font lacks Unicode block characters
