✨ pastel-paint(1) — General Commands Manual ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is from the pastel command set and it's literally the cutest little thing: pastel paint prints your text in color using ANSI escape sequences 💅 no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

pastel-paint — print colored text using ANSI escape sequences 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

pastel paint [-o|--on] [-b|--bold] [-i|--italic] [-u|--underline]
[-n|--no-newline] [-h|--help] <color> [text]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Print colored text using ANSI escape sequences. That's it, that's the whole vibe ✨ you give it a color, you give it some text, and it hands you back that text looking absolutely iconic.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -o, --on <bg-color> — use the specified background color, so your text is sitting pretty on a lil colored cushion 🫶
• -b, --bold — print the text in bold face. thick. assertive. main character energy 🔥
• -i, --italic — print the text in italic font, very slanty, very demure 💜
• -u, --underline — draw a line below the text. underline it like it's the most important thing you've ever said ⭐
• -n, --no-newline — do not print a trailing newline character. lowkey essential when you're chaining stuff together and don't want a random line break ruining the fit 🌈
• -h, --help — print help 🙈
• <color> — the foreground color. use - to read the color from STDIN 👀
• [text] — the text to be printed in color. if no argument is given, the input is read from STDIN 🍓

ngl the STDIN thing is the moment here: pass - as the color and it'll slurp that color straight from standard input, and if you don't hand it a [text] argument at all, the text itself comes from STDIN too. pipe it, type it, whatever — she's flexible 💅
