Was wondering if there is anything out there that i can use to pretty up my terminal's output? (linux)
Stuff like migrations and most rake tasks output as just white text on black.
thanks!
Couple of options...

Install the 'wirble' gem.
In ~/.irbrc add the following:
require 'rubygems' require 'wirble' Wirble.init Wirble.colorize
If you're using capistrano, install the capistrano_colors gem and then add this to the top of your deploy.rb file:
require 'capistrano_colors'

Like that idea. Add that and you will have to start shielding your eyes. The text terminal is your friend. Do *everything* you can in the text terminal. You will learn better and faster, I promise.
