A simple oh-my-fish plugin that makes "man" pages more colorful

Oh My Fish - Colour Manual

This is a very simple plugin which colourises the output of man which results in much nicer to read manual pages. It does so by simply setting some shell variables to colours. If you want to change them, feel free to tweak around with the values.

Installation

You should be able to install colorman via oh-my-fish.

$ omf install colorman

Otherwise just download the init.fish script (possibly rename it colorman.fish and source it somewhere in your config.fish.

omf unfortunately doesn't allow start-hooks so you have to do this next:

$ echo "source ~/.local/share/omf/pkg/colorman/init.fish" >> ~/.config/fish/config.fish

Aaand Done 🙂

Spelling

The project is officially spelt "oh my fish - color manual", colorman for short. But that doesn't mean I have to use wrong gramar (i.e. not spell it colour in the README. Just don't be confused 😅)
