_**Base16 Builder** is a nimble command-line tool that generates themes for your favourite programs. See it in action below:_
Base16 Builder is easy to use. All you have to do is supply a [**color `s`cheme**](https://github.com/alexbooker/base16-builder/tree/master/db/schemes), [**`t`emplate**](https://github.com/alexbooker/base16-builder/tree/master/db/templates), and **`b`rightness** (`light` or `dark`). Base16 Builder will use the information you provide to generate a theme and write it to [*stdout*](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/an-introduction-to-linux-i-o-redirection).
Because Base16 Builder writes to stdout, it's possible to pipe the theme anywhere you like. In the above screencast, the theme is piped to a new file called "theme", but this could just as well have been a configuration file like ".Xresources".
You don't have to be savvy with [Unix pipelines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipeline_(Unix)) to enjoy Base16 Builder. If you'd prefer, you can just copy the output with your mouse :relaxed:.
