About:
Hyperfine is a command-line benchmarking tool designed to measure the execution time of other programs. It provides statistical analysis including mean, standard deviation, and outlier detection, making it ideal for comparing the performance of different commands or script versions.

Cross-shell command support
Export results to various formats (JSON, CSV)
Parameterized benchmarking
Relative speed comparison

Use Cases:

Comparing performance of different algorithms or implementations
Measuring optimization impact on shell scripts
Benchmarking CLI tools before and after updates

Alternatives:

time – Standard Unix utility, less precise and lacks statistical analysis
bench – Go-based benchmarking tool, similar functionality but different ecosystem
