Uses the amazing colormind.io to generate random color schemes for your terminal. Give every branch of every git project on your machine a unique look!
I tested random-colors with these terminals:
- iTerm
- Alacritty
- Kitty
It probably works with other xterm-compatible terminals. If you've had success using random-colors on a different terminal, please let me know in a Github issue!
random-colors support these shells:
- bash
- fish
PR's adding support for more shells are most welcome!
The easiest way to install this is using Nix:
nix-env -if https://github.com/jwoudenberg/random-colors/archive/master.tar.gz
random-colors needs to hook into your shell so it knows when you switch directories.
For bash:
echo 'eval "$(random-colors --hook=bash)"' >> ~/.bashrc
For fish:
echo 'random-colors --hook=fish | source' >> ~/.config/fish/config.fish
After the installation random-colors should work automatically. Try cd-ing into a git directory or changing branches. If the color scheme generated is not to your liking, you can generate a different one using
random-colors --refresh
random-colors remembers which scheme belongs to a particular project and branch and will restore it once you return to the project and branch.
