A standalone implementation of the timeout command.

macOS does not include the GNU Coreutils timeout command by default. While you can install the full coreutils package via Homebrew, this introduces many unnecessary commands and potential path conflicts.

This project provides a standalone, lightweight timeout command implementation that allows you to use timeout functionality without installing the entire GNU Coreutils suite.

brew install aisk/homebrew-tap/timeout

make sudo cp timeout /usr/local/bin/

# Run command with 5 second timeout timeout 5s long-running-command # 2 minute timeout timeout 2m backup-script.sh

make # Compile make clean # Clean build artifacts make format # Format code
