Tiny bash utility for coloring terminal output and prompt
The motivating use case was easily stacking styles, which is not possible to do with other tools like node's chalk:
Useful for templating colorful prompts (use -e|--escape [zsh|bash]
for this)
for bash: PS1=$(clc -e bash '<bold:<red:[<yellow:\\u><green:@><blue:\\h><magenta:\\W>]>$ >')
for zsh: PS1=$(clc -e zsh '<bold:<red:[<yellow:%n><green:@><blue:%m><magenta:%1d>]>$ >')
Try it
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/betafcc/clc/master/clc) '<red:hello <reverse:world>'
Install
dest='/usr/local/bin/clc'; curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/betafcc/clc/master/clc | sudo tee "${dest}" > /dev/null && sudo chmod +x "${dest}"
Then use:
clc '<red:hello <reverse:world>'
