ansi
A pure Bash script to generate ANSI escape codes for terminal text styling, cursor control, and display manipulation.
What is ansi?
ANSI is a pure Bash script that generates ANSI escape sequences for terminal manipulation. It allows developers to change text colors, move the cursor, apply text attributes (like bold or underline), and control display elements directly from shell scripts or command lines. It solves the problem of adding rich terminal styling without relying on external tools or complex libraries.
Shell script developers and system administrators who need to enhance terminal output with colors, dynamic cursor positioning, or basic UI elements in Bash environments.
Developers choose ANSI because it's lightweight, dependency-free, and written entirely in Bash, making it highly portable. It offers a comprehensive set of terminal control features without the overhead of larger libraries like ncurses.
