rainbow 2.8.0

Description:

rainbow 2.8.0

Easily colorize commands output using patterns.
rainbow [ --COLOR=PATTERN ... | --conf CONF ] COMMAND

Examples

Using the command line
Prepend rainbow with --COLOR=PATTERN associations to your
command, for example:

Tail some log file with lines containing ERROR in red:
rainbow --red=ERROR tail -f /var/log/my.log

You can also pipe commands output into rainbow:
tail -f /var/log/my.log | rainbow --red=ERROR




Using configs
Rainbow can load configuration for each command from files, which is the most convenient way to use it. When running rainbow mycommand, rainbow will automatically look for a config named mycommand.cfg in ~/.config/rainbow, ~/.rainbow, /etc/rainbow, or builtin configs:

Colorize the diff command output using the builtin config:
rainbow diff file1 file2

Start my custom command, using ~/.rainbow/mycommand.cfg:
rainbow mycommand


The syntax for writing configs is straightforward, see the
builtin configs
for examples. See also the commands support table.
