colorit

Colorit colors your console outputs with the use of regular expressions and marks words for you in fancy colors.

Code Climate

Example

This simple example will tail -f the systems auth.log file and mark all occurences of root in red and of CRON in green.

tail -f /var/log/auth.log | colorit --red root --green CRON

The next is another easy example that will mark the file names in blue, when more than one log file is tail'd:

tail -f /var/log/*.log | colorit --blue "==> (.*) <=="

Installation

  • [sudo] gem install colorit

~/.coloritrc

You can put color:match pairs into a ~/.coloritrc file.

red:2012
blue:whatever:the:key:is:still:only:blue
