# Hyperfine Command-Line Benchmarking Tool

Benchmark command-line programs with statistical rigor using Hyperfine. Performs warmup runs, detects outliers, exports results in JSON/CSV/Markdown, and supports parameterized benchmarks for comparison.

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- brew install hyperfine
- conda install -c conda-forge hyperfine
- cargo install --locked hyperfine
- Make sure that you use Rust 1.76 or newer.

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- of helpful Python programs to further analyze benchmark results and create helpful

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- Cache-clearing commands can be set up before each timing run.
- ### Basic benchmarks
- To run a benchmark, you can simply call hyperfine <command>.... The argument(s) can be any
