Re: [fossil-users] Colored output on console

Just to clarify, the fsl wrapper is not my work (although I contributed to the cookbook and one of the standard enhancements in the default .fslrc file was put in at my behest). I'm just a fan of DIY customization instead of asking the core devs to add every little feature every user can think

Re: [fossil-users] Colored output on console

I know that every time I mention this I get silently, perhaps even hostilely, ignored, but really guys, why not just use fsl for your customization needs? Colourizing output is in the cookbook: http://fossil.0branch.com/fsl/wiki?name=Cookbook, along with lots of other nifty tricks like aliasing,

For now, if you’re on a unix platform, you can try a wrapper script like this: #!/bin/bash export COLOR_NC='^[[0m' export COLOR_RED='^[[1;31m’ fossil $* |\ sed -e "s/ERROR/${COLOR_RED}ERROR${COLOR_NC}/g” \ sed -e “s/WARNING/${COLOR_RED}WARNING${COLOR_NC}/g” On Apr 24, 2016, at 4:07 AM,

[fossil-users] Colored output on console

Hi devs, it would be great if one could colorise Fossil’s output on the console! Quite a few times I missed an error or warning message which slipped in between of many lines of the usual fossil output on the console. Red colouring of words like “warning” or “error” would be very helpful
