Usage

Create color list

Color list is managed by JSON file. (If you use Homebrew, the file path is '/opt/homebrew/Cellar/colormkdir/0.0.1/libexec/color_list.json' in my case) You need to decide color name and color code as shown below. (It is a default definition)

{
    "r":"#ff0000",
    "b":"#1e90ff",
    "g":"#3cb371",
    "y":"#ffff00",
    "p":"#9400d3",
    "o":"#ff7f50"
}

Update color list

After change color list, you need to run command for updating color list.

colormkdir -u

Make directory in specified color

colormkdir -m [value] <directory name>

[value] is color name defined in color list. If directory name is already exsisted, it will be error.

Change directory color as specified color

colormkdir -c [value] <directory name>

[value] is color name defined in color list. If directory name is not exsisted, it will be error.
