Making bash printed text prettier.
Adjusted for modern 256 color terminals.
#!/bin/bash
source ~/.bashark/bashark.sh
color 214 # Light orange
echo This will be light orange
# Or inline
echo $(color 190)This is light yellow$(color 171) and light purple, ${NORMAL}back to normal.
Here's a useful colormap
Here is a sample of the built in variables
I wrote these little helpers for my own projects, because I believe bash users deserve animations, just like anyone else!
To run a command with a nice animation, just call:
source ~/.bashark/bashark.sh
cmd "Status message" command param1 param2Here's an example:
Either copy the files in source and include bashark.sh from it, or use the install script to copy it to your home directory under .bashark.
To use in your script:
source ~/.bashark/bashark.shor change ~/.bashark to your custom location.
