Tiny bash utility for  coloring terminal output and prompt

![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/betafcc/clc/master/examples/usage.gif)

The motivating use case was easily stacking styles, which is not possible to do with other tools like [node's chalk](https://github.com/chalk/chalk-cli):

Useful for templating colorful prompts (use `-e|--escape [zsh|bash]` for this)

for bash: `PS1=$(clc -e bash '<bold:<red:[<yellow:\\u><green:@><blue:\\h><magenta:\\W>]>$ >')`

for zsh: `PS1=$(clc -e zsh '<bold:<red:[<yellow:%n><green:@><blue:%m><magenta:%1d>]>$ >')`
