colorize VS oh-my-posh

In Ruby, this is possible using a gem like Colorize or Rainbow.

Add the colorize gem to your project by including the code below in your Gemfile.

So you want to add color to your terminal app? Since you're a programmer, the first thing you do is go straight to Google. This generally leads people to two ideas. One is the popular Colorize gem, which is an easy and super convenient way to get color functionality into your app. You just install the gem, require it into whatever file(s) you wish to use it in, and then you'll have several color utility functions added onto the String class. Other things people often run into are Stack Overflow posts like this one, which essentially peel back the curtain on how the Colorize gem works. When we want to add colors to a string, we wrap the string in an ANSI escape code that signals how your terminal emulator should style the text.

Before I start going into more detail, here's the code for the rake task. The dependencies for the rake task are a running ngrok instance, the twilio-ruby gem (I'm using v5.67.1), and if you'd like a pop of color in your terminal to make things easier to spot, the colorize gem

The next thing I used on my project is the Colorize gem

The named colors available through the colorize gem are defined in Colorize::ClassMethods#color_codes, L61-73. You'll notice the colors are organized into two columns of 8 colors, plus default. Any basic color terminal will support 8 colors. The next level of support is 16 colors, and finally 265 colors. IRB does something similar in Colorize::DEFAULTS on L29-L34. Note that these two classes share a name, but they're entirely different and unrelated.

Tip 2: Use oh-my-posh to customize your terminal prompt and make working in your terminal even more fun.

Initializes oh-my-posh and sets a prompt theme

I use starship (alternative: oh my posh) to get a fancy prompt. Both work on Linux, MacOS and Windows (including WSL), so you can have a consistent prompt no matter where you are.

oh-my-posh for Powershell on any platform.

It's the entire image in the middle. They're using tmux as their terminal. The logo and information is from a neofetch. The information at the bottom looks like it's from Oh My Posh but something similar could be done using something else like Starship.
