grc-rs

Description

Generic colouriser for the output for many programs (A port of grc + grcat to rust). grc must be installed as its configuration files are used.

Currently relies on the 'regex' crate which doesn't support look-ahead/look-behind, limiting the number of supported grc/grcat rules. grc-rs will fall back gracefully and ignore unsupported regexes.

Status

Works well: ip, mount, free, dig, du, env, lspci, last, ss, lsof, uptime, whois, vmstat, systemctl, lsattr, ntpdate, lsmod, tcpdump, nmap, iptables

Partially works: lsblk, uptime, ps, df

Untested: docker, semanage, ifconfig, ant, cvs, lolcat, log

Usage

Either create shell aliases for the command that you want colourised:

sh alias mount='grc-rs mount'

or use the --aliases option to generate a list. The brave can put this in ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc, but things may break.

sh $(eval grc-rs --aliases)
