Battery
Battery is a little bash script that uses Spark to display the battery status on your tmux sessions or the terminal.
Features
- Changes color to reflect battery status (Green, Yellow, Red)
- Displays battery percentage
- Graph bar changes its values between 0 and 100% (thanks to spark)
- If you don't like the default colors, you can specify the good, medium and warning battery status colors using flags (read usage).
Requirements
Right now, battery requires Spark to graph your battery status, and only runs on Mac OS X.
If you don't want to use Spark, you can use the -a
flag, for ascii output:
Install
Homebrew
Just do (case sensitive)
brew tap Goles/battery

, btw, try to run from ~/
