  filter ANSI colors and animations

For tools that don't honor NO_COLOR, I have a filter called nofun, which gets rid of color and animations.

There’s one I’ve come across recently here where you’re fighting against syntax highlighting with extra error context. https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/13446#issuecomment...

  🖍 Terminal string styling done right

  

This is the type of thing that should be supported in libraries like Chalk[0]. We all know that Joe Bloggs' CLI isn't going to be checking for NO_COLOR.

• bemenu

  12 1,114 8.2 C

  Dynamic menu library and client program inspired by dmenu

Environment variables are fine when used for things that usually don't change once they're set. For example, XDG_CONFIG_HOME or GOPATH. They are, however, absolutely awful when used to configure values that will probably change inside a session. A good example is BEMENU_OPTS from the bemenu program, which is used to change colors, font etc. Should I relogin into my session just to make a program use dark mode colors?

In such cases, environment variables lose their intended purpose and they need to be stuffed into wrapper scripts or overridden on the command line before executing a command, which is extremely annoying.

Great question!

There is ansi2txt (packaged as colorized-logs on debian).

I also found some answers on SO with people using a sed command for this.

I don't know about others but I'm not a fan of monstrosity like this

https://github.com/ayushnix/dotfiles/commit/2eb66eff8a03a5bf...

If I stuff it into a wrapper script, I'm essentially trying to emulate config files, which is what should've been used in the first place. This is why I prefer using config files rather than creating uglier and harder to maintain wrapper scripts.

> I'm a big fan of following the 12factor[1] approach.

I guess if you don't want state associated with your deployments, environment variables are better but I would still argue that they aren't manageable when their values become large as shown above or if their numbers start approaching double digits because when that happens, you're essentially emulating config files anyways.

• no-ansi

  1 0 2.7 Rust

  A single-function CLI tool to strip escape codes from input

I did a quick GitHub search and found two of them:

https://github.com/kurtbuilds/no-ansi

Written in rust and ultimately uses vte from alacritty to write through a virtual terminal. Can be given a file on the command line.

https://github.com/emptymonkey/dumb

Written in Lex and just strips a number of specific escape sequences (written 9 years ago so likely doesn't include a few). Only stdin to stdout.
