Super Tiny Colors Library

What is it?

It is an ultra-super small compact and minimalist library (done in 7 code lines) used for scripts of Bash.

How does it work?

This uses variables to set the colors, encapsulating in this way the direct use of the ANSI color codes, accomplishing quickness, consolidation and independence.

Wrapper of ANSI color codes:

  • Use of ANSI color codes:

    echo -e "\e[40;38;5;82m Hello \e[30;48;5;82m World \e[0m"
    

    Example of command execution:

  • Use of the super-tiny-colors:

    git clone git@github.com:nelbren/npres.git
    source /usr/local/npres/lib/super-tiny-colors.bash
    echo -e "${nG} Hello ${Iy} World $S"
    echo -e "${nG} Hello ${Ig} World $S"
    echo -e "${nG} Hello ${Ir} World $S"
    echo -e "${nG} Hello ${Iw} World $S"
    

    Example of command execution:

How do I obtain it?
