Dynamically change the hue of your iTerm tabs according to your $CWD. Hue cocotte ! 🐔

Cocotte

Cocotte will colorize your iTerm tabs according to the parameter you pass. It is meant to work with your folder, giving a large hue range while being stable and more or less following the alphabetical order.

cocotte $(pwd)
# takes the path, do some computation and color your iterm tab according to this value.

Building

cargo build --release

Configuration

Create a .cocotterc.toml:

• in your config home
• or in ~/.config/ (XDG base directory specifications)

Example:

blacklist = [
          "Users",
          "pierrebaillet",
          ".",
          "Documents",
          "src",
          "datadog",
          "mine"
]

blacklist

• list of path segments to ignore when computing the colour

• this is a list a CASE SENSITIVE items (changed after v1.0)

• if a parameter is only containing blacklist items, cocotte will return black as color:

cocotte -v -r /Users/pierrebaillet/src/github.com
Verbose enabled.
Reading configuration from: "/Users/pierrebaillet/.cocotterc.toml"
Black list is: ["users", "pierrebaillet", ".", "Documents", "src", "datadog", "mine", "github.com", "go"]
Using input string: /users/pierrebaillet/src/github.com
Path components after filtering: []
R:0 G:0 B:0

cocotte --help

cocotte $(pwd)

To dynamically update your tab based on your current directory you use PROMPT_COMMAND

edit ~/.bash_profile and add the lines below (if cocotte is not in your $PATH you need to replace it by the full path to cocotte)

 cocotte $(pwd)
}
PROMPT_COMMAND="cocotte_update; $PROMPT_COMMAND"
