A collection of command line interface (CLI) tools.

colour_text module and colour-print command

The colour-print command makes printing coloured text easier to do on Unix, macOS and Windows terminals.

See Source/colour_text/README.md for details.

For example:

From python use the ColourText class to implement the same features.

    ct.initTerminal()

    print( ct('~red Some red text~ and some ~green Green text~') )

   $ ./build.sh 2>&1 | colour-filter '^Info:' green 'Error:.*' red
