pastel-rotate(1)

💖 pastel-rotate — the manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is pastel-rotate(1), straight outta the General Commands Manual. it's the little glow-up that spins your hue around the color wheel. let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

pastel-rotate — rotate the hue channel by the specified angle 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

pastel rotate [-h|--help] <degrees> [color]

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so here's the tea 🫖 — pastel rotate takes the HSL hue channel of a color and spins it by the angle you hand it (that's degrees, babes).

• spin it by 180° and you get the complementary color — the iconic opposite, the nemesis arc 💀
• spin it by 360° and you land right back where you started, full circle, no notes 🎀

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -h, --help — prints the help. the short -h gives you the summary version, iykyk 👑
• <degrees> — the angle you're rotating by, in degrees. and yes bestie, it can be negative — go backwards, be a little rebellious 🙈
• [color] — this one's the main character fr fr. colors can be specified in SO many different formats, like:
  • #RRGGBB
  • RRGGBB
  • #RGB
  • 'rgb(…, …, …)'
  • 'hsl(…, …, …)'
  • 'gray(…)'
  • or literally just the name of the color 🌸

also, the identifier - reads a single color from standard input. and the special identifier pick runs an external color picker so you can choose a color with your own two hands 🫶

if you don't pass a color argument at all? colors get read from standard input. slay.

here are examples — and get this, ALL of these specify the same color 🤯:

- lightslategray
- '#778899'
- 778899
- 789
- 'rgb(119, 136, 153)'
- '119,136,153'
- 'hsl(210, 14.3%, 53.3%)'

and alpha transparency is supported too, because of course it is 💅:

- '#77889980'
- 'rgba(119, 136, 153, 0.5)'
- 'hsla(210, 14.3%, 53.3%, 50%)'

and that's the whole page, bestie. this was rotate from the General Commands Manual, landing in your terminal as page pastel-rotate(1) — section 1, where all the good command-line stuff lives. mwah, go rotate something gorgeous 💜✨
