Show HN: Grep with colours written in Go

Do be sure to at least consider supporting no colour! <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;no-color.org" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;no-color.org</a>

Is this speed competitive with tools like <i>the silver searcher</i> (`ag`) or is the focus here on color?

Nice job! Language-specific coloring is really nice!<p>I&#x27;ll give it a try. I normally use a different Golang tool called sift as my grep replacement (which I love so far): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;svent&#x2F;sift" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;svent&#x2F;sift</a><p>Sift&#x27;s goals seem to be mostly performance (it is super fast), but it would be nice to have some of these more sophisticated coloring features in there as well, as they are useful.

Nice UI! Some time ago I wrote something similar, because I was missing some features in ripgrep (which is otherwise pretty awesome): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dominikschulz&#x2F;gg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dominikschulz&#x2F;gg</a>

I like it. I started something similar with node (I never aimed for performance) trying to go for high grep compatibility but with added extra colors and js regexp flavour.

GNU grep has support for colors.

But... Can it elegantly suppress broken pipe errors?

Really cool! But from the title I initially thought this was a grep tool for finding certain colors in your image data.

Useless use of cat candidate.
