## Color Scheme Implementer for Terminals
Gogh is a collection of color schemes for various terminal emulators, including Gnome Terminal, Pantheon Terminal, Tilix, and XFCE4 Terminal. These schemes are designed to make your terminal more visually appealing and improve your productivity by providing a better contrast and color differentiation. (This fork of Gogh includes a color scheme named "Vaombe".)
The inspiration for Gogh came from the clean and minimalistic design of Elementary OS, but the project has since grown to include a variety of unique and beautiful options. Not only does Gogh work on Linux systems, but it's also compatible with iTerm on macOS, providing a consistent and visually appealing experience across platforms.

In your terminal, type:
For **Debian/Ubuntu:**
```bash
sudo apt-get install dconf-cli uuid-runtime
```For **Arch Linux:**

sudo pacman -S dconf util-linux-libs
```You can now install Gogh in Interactive Mode (Easier) or Non-Interactive Mode! (Ideal for Scripting)
## **Install**
### Interactive Mode:
**1. Just copy and paste this one-line command:**
```bash
bash -c "$(wget -qO- https://git.io/vQgMr)"
```Or, if you're a Mac user:
```bash
bash -c "$(curl -sLo- https://git.io/vQgMr)"
```**2. Select your installed theme from your terminal.**
**DEMO:**

## βοΈ Install (Non-Interactive Mode)
Two ways:
* Clone the repository.
* Download the only required files. (Bare Minimum!)### Clone Repository
```bash
# Clone the repo into "$HOME/src/gogh"
mkdir -p "$HOME/src"
cd "$HOME/src"
git clone https://github.com/Gogh-Co/Gogh.git gogh
cd gogh# necessary in the Gnome terminal on ubuntu
export TERMINAL=gnome-terminal# necessary in the Alacritty terminal
pip install -r requirements.txt
export TERMINAL=alacritty# Enter theme installs dir
cd installs# install themes
./atom.sh
./dracula.sh
```### Download the only required files. (Bare Minimum!)
```bash
# Download apply script
wget https://github.com/Gogh-Co/Gogh/raw/master/apply-colors.sh
# Download desired themes from ./installs/ like this:
wget https://github.com/Gogh-Co/Gogh/raw/master/installs/selenized-dark.sh# Optional - download Alacritty dependency (may require additional python packages, see requirements.txt for more)
wget https://github.com/Gogh-Co/Gogh/raw/master/apply-alacritty.py
# Optional - download Terminator dependency (may require additional python packages, see requirements.txt for more)
wget https://github.com/Gogh-Co/Gogh/raw/master/apply-terminator.py# You can also specify where to find the apply scripts with the following environmental variables:
GOGH_APPLY_SCRIPT=/path/to/apply-colors.sh
GOGH_ALACRITTY_SCRIPT=/path/to/apply-alacritty.py # only needed if applying to Alacritty terminal
GOGH_TERMINATOR_SCRIPT=/path/to/apply-terminator.py # only needed if applying to Terminator terminal# Control Gogh behavior with the following:
TERMINAL=gnome-terminal # Select for which terminal to install the theme
# (see apply-colors.sh for all supported terminals)
GOGH_NONINTERACTIVE= # Make output silent and answer all prompts with default value
# (errors will still be printed)
GOGH_USE_NEW_THEME= # Make theme the currently used/default one of the terminal
# Actual effect may differ between terminals
# Supported terminals: xfce4-terminal# Apply downloaded theme (apply script must be in the same folder)
TERMINAL=gnome-terminal bash ./selenized-dark.sh
# OR specify apply script path
GOGH_APPLY_SCRIPT=/path/to/file/apply-colors.sh bash ./selenized-dark.sh

## πΌοΈ Create your Own Theme!
Good news! Now, creating themes are easier than ever.All you need to do is to create a YAML format file, following the example of the other files in the `themes` folder.
Some rules to keep in mind:
- The file name should match the name of the theme. For example:
- **Filename**: `Solarized Dark.yml`
- **Inside the .yml file**: `name: 'Solarized Dark'`
- Use title case for all words by capitalizing their first letter.
- Ensure that the contrast is sufficient for good legibility.***Now, you can send your Pull Request***
