Colorize columnar data

Hi there 👋

I am a CLI hacker passionate about the terminal.

Tools I find essential at my work every day (totally incomplete with no particular order):

• iTerm2 for terminal emulation
• zsh + oh-my-zsh + powerlevel10k
• neovim + LazyVim + some of my favourite plugins
  • see my current config in my dotfiles
• I also use vscode sometimes but 🤫
• jq and my jq-zsh-plugin for wrangling with JSON
• fzf for a bunch of my interactive needs
• direnv to handle contextual things instead of me
• eza because ls is sooooo last millennium...
• ripgrep + fd for finding things
• coreutils + findutils + moreutils because of course, duh!
• gawk + gsed for the quick and dirty stuff
• curl because obviously, DUUUH!
• git and delta for those pretty diffs! 🤩

Languages I prefer to work with (in no particular order):

• go
• lua
• python
• typescript
• bash
• terraform

I'm working a lot with kubernetes and aws.

column-bling's Issues

Allow for specifying different cell colors based on a regex

If a cell matches a given perl compatible regular expression, then apply an alternate color to the cell.
Eg.:

column-bling --replace-color '/^false&/;red'

This can be worked around today with something like sed:

column-bling | sed -r -e 's,(false),\x1b[31m\1,g'

Allow for specifying colors for each column

Have a command line flag that allows for specifying the style for each column.
Something like this:

column-bling --colors 'red;yellow,blue,green'

The colors would wrap around and repeat if the actual number of columns is more than the one specified.
