Add style to your output
Tired of the boring white on black output of your terminal? Need a little more emphasis? Or maybe display some quotes that make you smile or inspired in your terminal? (We all know that a quote is not a quote if it's not in italics)
Well, now you can format the output of your commands with style, see how
bellow:
NOTE: Some terminals may not support some or all of the functionally in this script.
$ curl https://raw.github.com/LuRsT/style/master/style > ~/bin/style
(Examine ~/bin/style)
$ chmod +x ~/bin/style
Note: You should have ~/bin in your $PATH for this to work.
$ ls -l
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 lurst users 574 Feb 13 08:02 README.md
-rwxr-xr-x 1 lurst users 2045 Feb 13 07:58 style
$ ls -l | style -b # Now the ouput is in bold
$ ls -l | style -C blue # Now the ouput is blue
$ ls -l | style -C 11 # Now the ouput is yellow-orangeish
$ ls -l | style -B blue # Now the ouput's background is blue
$ ls -l | style -B 11 # Now the ouput's background is yellow-orangeish
$ ls -l | style -i # Now the ouput is in italics
$ ls -l | style -u # Now the ouput is underlined
$ ls -l | style -t # Now the ouput twinkles (aka "blink")
That's it, no requirements, just pure old bash, tput and getopts, check
the source, it's free.
- Add more functionality
- Make code more consistent (bold uses tput, italics doenst)
- Add to homebrew
Idea got while discussing the use of colours in hr here:

So, thank you!
