Setup

Download

If you already have custom path in $PATH just copy the source file there

$ cd custom/path/in/$PATH
$ git clone https://github.com/NearHuscarl/termite-color-switcher
$ cp termite-color-switcher/bin/color color

If you dont have one yet, create a directory and add it to $PATH then copy the source file to the created path. In this example, the custom path will be ~/bin

$ mkdir ~/bin && cd $_
$ echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin' >> .bashrc # replace .bashrc with .zshrc if you use zsh
$ git clone https://github.com/NearHuscarl/termite-color-switcher
$ cp termite-color-switcher/bin/color color

Optional: Enable autocompletion for bash and zsh

For bash, source the completion file completion/bash on shell startup by adding one line in ~/.bashrc

$ mkdir ~/.bash_completion.d
$ cp termite-color-switcher/completion/bash ~/.bash_completion.d/termite-color-switcher.bash
$ echo 'source ~/.bash_completion.d/termite-color-switcher.bash' >> ~/.bashrc

For zsh, copy the completion file to one of the paths in $fpath, where the completion files will be sourced when invoke completion on the command at the first time

If you already have custom path in $fpath just copy the completion file there

$ echo $fpath
$ cd custom/path/in/$fpath
$ cp termite-color-switcher/completion/zsh termite-color-switcher.zsh

If you dont, add one to $fpath first, the rest should be similar as above

$ fpath=( ~/.zfunc "${fpath[@]}" )

Setup config

$ cd termite-color-switcher && ./setup.sh

This script split the termite config file ~/.config/termite/config into 2 new files

One is ~/.config/termite/option which will store all configuration except color (the [options] and [hints] section)

Another is ~/.config/termite/color/default which will store the [colors] section. The file name is the name of the colorscheme. In this case the current color in your config is the default colorscheme
