printr

printr is the smarter echo alternative. It is meant as a drop-in replacement of echo and has additional features like automatically guessing the sentiment of the string passed to it and then outputting it in the corresponding color.

Examples:

1. A positive statement will be colored green.

   printr This is quite awesome!

2. A negative statement will be colored red.

   printr Danger ahead!

3. A neutral statement will be colored blue.

   printr Hello World...

For a full list of options and flags available, run printr --help.

Behind the scenes, printr performs some light sentiment analysis to guess whether a statement is positive, negative or neutral.

NOTE: This program does not work well with Windows CMD and Powershell. It works with Git-Bash.

Installing

printr comes packaged with a convenience install script that can run on all bash systems. Run the following command in your terminal (git-bash for windows users).

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IgnisDa/printr/main/get-printr.sh -o get-printr.sh
# Warning: always examine scripts downloaded from the internet before running them locally.
bash get-printr.sh

The above command can also be used to update your current installation of printr.

print is also available on the AUR and can be installed using any AUR helper.

yay -S printr-git

Notes

Completions

The completions for printr are installed to /usr/share/doc/printr (or equivalent on Windows). They can be copied to the correct directories to enable tab completions.

NOTE: You may need to restart your shell in order for the changes to take effect.

Bash

You should have bash-completion installed.

cp /usr/share/doc/printr/printr.bash /etc/bash_completion.d/printr.bash-completion

Fish

cp /usr/share/doc/printr/printr.fish $HOME/.config/fish/completions/printr.fish

Zsh

cp /usr/share/doc/printr/_printr $HOME/.zfunc/_printr

You must then add the following line in your $HOME/.zshrc before compinit:

fpath+=~/.zfunc

For oh-my-zsh, you must then enable printr in your $HOME/.zshrc plugins

plugins(
   printr
   ...
   )

Miscellaneous

The output of printr -h is different from printr --help. The installation script also sets up man pages that can be accessed using man printr on non Windows systems.
