✨ NAME ✨

Kameleon β€” Mindful appliance builder πŸ’–

(yeah the page header says KAMELEON(1) and it's chillin' in the User Commands section, but we're besties now so just call it kameleon)


πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

πŸ’… OPTIONS πŸ’…

Every one of these comes in the trio format, so you got the on switch, the off switch, and the "skip it entirely" switch. Choose your fighter 🫢

  • [--color], [--no-color], [--skip-color] β€” # Enable colorization in output # Default: true β€” so like, colors are on by default, iconic behaviour honestly
  • [--verbose], [--no-verbose], [--skip-verbose] β€” # Enable verbose output for kameleon users β€” for when you want the tea, all of it β˜•
  • [--debug], [--no-debug], [--skip-debug] β€” # Enable debug output for kameleon developers # Default: false β€” dev-only energy, and nah it's off by default
  • -s, [--script], [--no-script], [--skip-script] β€” # Never prompt for user intervention # Default: false β€” note the lil -s short flag, she's special ✨
Heads up bestie: -s / --script means it will never stop and ask you anything. No prompts, no takebacks. Perfect for scripts, mildly terrifying for vibes 😭
