FAQPage Schema
How do I style Bash script terminal output with headers and colored messages?▼

You can style Bash script terminal output by sourcing the style.sh library, which exposes functions for rendering headers, sections, and colorized messages directly in your CLI scripts.

Can I display spinners and progress indicators for long-running Bash scripts?▼

Yes, you can display spinner-based progress indicators for long-running Bash scripts by invoking the dedicated progress function exposed after sourcing the style.sh library.

Does Bash terminal styling still work if gum is not installed?▼

Bash terminal styling gracefully degrades to plain ASCII output when gum is unavailable, ensuring your scripts remain compatible and functional across environments lacking the dependency.

What is the best way to format consistent tables and banners in terminal output?▼

The best way to format consistent tables and banners in terminal output is using a dedicated Bash styling library like style.sh, which delivers standardized formatting functions for user-facing CLI scripts.

Do I need to install dependencies to use style.sh for CLI UX improvements?▼

No external dependencies are strictly required to use style.sh for CLI UX improvements; the library is sourced directly in your script and degrades gracefully to plain ASCII if gum is missing.
