sequin

Make ANSI escape sequences human-readable. Useful for debugging, learning, or inspecting terminal output. More information: https://github.com/charmbracelet/sequin.

• Describe ANSI escape sequences from a string:

printf "{{\x1b[38;5;4mCiao, \x1b[1;7mBaby.\x1b[0m\n}}" | sequin

• Inspect colorized output from another command (e.g., ls):

ls -l --color=always | sequin

• Examine a file containing ANSI sequences (e.g., a TUI golden file):

cat {{path/to/file.golden}} | sequin

• Execute a command directly within a fake TTY to inspect its output:

sequin -- {{ls -l go.*}}

• Highlight raw ANSI sequences inline for easier reading:

git -c status.color=always status -sb | sequin -r
