GPICK(1)

💖 GPICK — the advanced color picker, bestie edition 💖

okay so real talk: gpick is your girl for picking colors, and she's advanced. Not like, basic eyedropper energy. Like, main character color-picking energy. Let's get into it ✨

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS

gpick [FILE]

that's it. one optional file. we love a minimal queen 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION

gpick starts an application — and if you hand her a FILE, she opens it. that's the whole vibe. no cap 💅

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

here's where it gets juicy. every single flag, no skips, periodt:

• -v, --version — prints version information. the "hey, who am i" moment 🎀
• -g, --geometry — window geometry. you wanna tell her where to sit, she'll sit there 💜
• -p, --pick — pick a color! while you're picking, you can insert the color at point to the clipboard by pressing CTRL-C. and to hide the floating instance, press ESC. 🫶

when this option is used, gpick is left running in the background, so that all the other floating instances don't start a new process. so if you actually need to close the process? use the -s flag. don't just walk away from her, she's still running fr fr 😭

• -s, --single — pick one color and exit. one and done. in and out. iconic behavior 🌸
• -o, --output — output picked color. give the people what they want 💅
• -c, --converter-name — the converter name used for floating picker mode. available converters are "color_web_hex", "color_css_rgb" and "color_css_hsl". pick your format, slay 💖
• --no-newline — output picked color without newline. for when that trailing line break is simply not invited to the party 🙈
• --no-start — do not start if not running already. lowkey the chillest flag: she'll only show up if she's already there 💀

🔥 EXAMPLES

here are some gpick usage examples, bestie. copy these exactly, i'm not playing:

gpick -o -s

opens a floating instance (i.e. it is not left run in the background) and send the selected color to STDOUT. clean. simple. ate. 👑

---

gpick -o -s -c color_css_hsl | xclip -sel c

inserts the selected color into the CLIPBOARD using the CSS HSL notation. pipe her straight into xclip and she lands in your clipboard like she owns the place 🌈✨
