Tiny bash utility for coloring terminal output and prompt

The motivating use case was easily stacking styles, which is not possible to do with other tools like node's chalk:

Useful for templating colorful prompts (use -e|--escape [zsh|bash] for this)

for bash: PS1=$(clc -e bash '<bold:<red:[<yellow:\\u><green:@><blue:\\h><magenta:\\W>]>$ >')

for zsh: PS1=$(clc -e zsh '<bold:<red:[<yellow:%n><green:@><blue:%m><magenta:%1d>]>$ >')

Try it

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/betafcc/clc/master/clc) '<red:hello <reverse:world>'

Install

dest='/usr/local/bin/clc'; curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/betafcc/clc/master/clc | sudo tee "${dest}" > /dev/null && sudo chmod +x "${dest}"

Then use:

clc '<red:hello <reverse:world>'

More

Use foreground colors:

clc '<red:hello>'
clc '<green:hello <blue: world>>'
clc '<rgb 255 120 120: hello>'
clc '<rgb 255 120 120: hello>'
clc '<#f66: hello>'
clc '<#66fa73: hello>'

Use background colors:

clc '<bg red:hello>'
clc '<bg green:hello <bg blue: world>>'
clc '<bg rgb 255 120 120: hello>'
clc '<bg #66fa73: hello>'

Use effects:

clc '<bold:hello>'
clc '<bold:hello <underline: world>>'

Combine commands:

clc '<red + bg blue + underline + bold:hello>'

Escape characters with '%':

clc '<red:%<hello world%>>'
