# Colorist

This is a small Perl application for adding color to plain old output. This may
be configuration files or just program output. The highlighting is line-based,
so if that doesn't work well with your output... umm... too bad? I mean, patches are
welcome!

## Quickstart Guide

Here's the quick way to get started.

# install colorist
cpanm App::Colorist

# clone the shared configuration from github
git clone git://github.com/zostay/dot-colorist.git ~/.colorist

# update your bashrc to setup the aliases you need
echo 'source $HOME/.colorist/bashrc' > ~/.bashrc

After you are done you can logout and log back in or run:

source ~/.colorist/bashrc

After that, you can update your configuration to the latest just by pulling the
latest configuration from github:

# make sure colorist is up-to-date first
cpanm App::Colorist

# update your configuration
cd ~/.colorist
git pull

For more information on how to write configurations, you can use the
documentation that comes with the command to learn more:

# for command-line options and environment variables
perldoc colorist

# for information on configuration
perldoc App::Colorist

# for information on tools available to rulesets
perldoc App::Colorist::Ruleset

# for information on extending or embedding colorist in other Perl applications
perldoc App::Colorist::Colorizer

Please report issues here or on CPAN RT if you have any problems with the
application.

Pull requests are welcome!
