svn-st-color

Wrapper for colorizing Subversion output.

svn-color is a wrapper which spawns Subversion command line client svn with specified subcommand and its arguments then tries to add ANSI colors to output.

Installation

1. Clone repository somewhere.

2. (optional) Make symbolic link:

ln -s some/path/to/svn-color ~/bin/svn

or

Add alias to ~/.bash_aliases

# Colorful Subversion client
alias svn="some/path/to/svn-color"

Usage

Use svn-color instead of usual svn or make symlink/alias (see above).

Color schemas

There are two color schemas specified in config.yml: default for dark background and light.

Preferred schema can be chosen via SVNCOLOR environment variable:
