# Dye `dye` is a tool to easily color text in shell. # Usage See the gif below to see these commands in action. echo $(dye --red WARN) This tool will knock your socks off. echo $(dye -r WARN) It takes too many characters to type --red, so every display modifier has a shortcode. echo $(dye -cl INFO) If your shell supports it, this label will be *blinking*. How cool is that? echo $(dye --cyan INFO) Lowercase letter options modify the text, uppercase modifies the $(dye -R --black background). echo $(dye -g SUCCESS) You are a $(dye -u great) engineer for using tools that make your life simpler and easier.  # Installation cargo install dye-cli # Documentation The `--help` option gives you all you need to know. Lowercase short options affect foreground color and style, and uppercase short options affect the background. Add color to text. Pass text as arguments (like the echo command), or pass no arguments to read stdin. USAGE: dye [OPTIONS] [string]...
