colorize

With this plugin you can syntax-highlight file contents of over 300 supported languages and other text formats.

Colorize will highlight the content based on the filename extension. If it can't find a syntax-highlighting method for a given extension, it will try to find one by looking at the file contents. If no highlight method is found it will just cat the file normally, without syntax highlighting.

Setup

To use it, add colorize to the plugins array of your ~/.zshrc file:

plugins=(... colorize)

Configuration

Requirements

This plugin requires that at least one of the following tools is installed:

Colorize tool

Colorize supports pygmentize and chroma as syntax highlighter. By default colorize uses pygmentize unless it's not installed and chroma is. This can be overridden by the ZSH_COLORIZE_TOOL environment variable:

ZSH_COLORIZE_TOOL=chroma

Styles

Pygments offers multiple styles. By default, the default style is used, but you can choose another theme by setting the ZSH_COLORIZE_STYLE environment variable:

ZSH_COLORIZE_STYLE="colorful"

Usage

  • ccat <file> [files]: colorize the contents of the file (or files, if more than one are provided). If no files are passed it will colorize the standard input.

  • cless [less-options] <file> [files]: colorize the contents of the file (or files, if more than one are provided) and open less. If no files are passed it will colorize the standard input. The LESSOPEN and LESSCLOSE will be overwritten for this to work, but only in a local scope.
