How to setup with Bash, Zsh or Fish

1. Copy this repo into your favourite scripts directory e.g. ~/scripts or ~/bin or ~/.oh-my-zsh/functions. It doesn't really matter.

2. Open in any text editor you want:

   2.1

   ~/.bashrc
   

   2.2

   ~/.zshrc
   

   2.3

   ~/.config/fish/config.fish
   

3. Go to the bottom and append:

   (you can use other name than rainbow, obviously) 3.1

   alias rainbow="YOUR_DIRECTORY/column_rainbower/column_rainbower.sh"

   3.2

   alias rainbow="YOUR_DIRECTORY/column_rainbower/column_rainbower.sh"

   3.3

   # I recommend using this path. You may need to create folder 'functions' first.
   function rainbow
       ~/.config/fish/functions/column_rainbower/column_rainbower.sh
   end

4. To reload you shell: 4.1

   source ~/.bashrc # or ~/.zshrc

   4.2

   source ~/.zshrc

   4.3

   source ~/.config/fish/config.fish

5. Done! Now try to execute my script with your alias rainbower
