Question 1

How do I save the ASCII art logo to a file instead of printing it?

Accepted Answer

Pipe the CLI output to a file using shell redirection, e.g., 'npx oh-my-logo "LOGO" > logo.txt'. For library usage, capture the string returned by render() and write it to a file with Node.js fs module.

Question 2

Does oh-my-logo work on Windows or in Git Bash?

Accepted Answer

It works on terminals that support ANSI colors, like Windows Terminal or PowerShell, but may have issues in classic CMD. Git Bash generally supports it, but gradient rendering can vary based on terminal settings.

Question 3

How to create a custom color gradient palette?

Accepted Answer

Use the --palette-colors option with either a JSON array or comma-separated hex codes, as shown in the CLI examples. For instance, 'npx oh-my-logo "CUSTOM" --palette-colors '["#ff0000","#00ff00"]'' applies a red-to-green gradient.

Question 4

oh-my-logo vs crayon or chalk: which is better for terminal colors?

Accepted Answer

oh-my-logo is specialized for gradient ASCII art logos with figlet fonts, while crayon/chalk are libraries for general text coloring. Use oh-my-logo for stylized banners, and crayon/chalk for simple colored text in scripts.

Question 5

Can I use oh-my-logo in a CI/CD pipeline like GitHub Actions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, run it via npx in a workflow step to add branded messages to logs. Ensure the runner supports Node.js and ANSI colors; use --color flag to force color output in non-TTY environments.

Question 6

How to animate a logo in the terminal with oh-my-logo?

Accepted Answer

The CLI doesn't support animations directly, but you can use the library in a Node.js script to render logos sequentially with delays, as demonstrated in the GIF demos, by looping render calls with setInterval.
