Colouring in Terminal

[dan1001]

Hi. I was checking out EndeavourOS in a VM and noticed that the bash shell offers a certain coloring scheme when using pacman, yay etc. commands. E.g. -

Can I enable such thing in Manjaro?

Hi! You have to uncomment the line beginning with Color in the file /etc/pacman.conf to achieve colorful output of pacman (Arch Wiki article).

The colors will be picked up from the color scheme you’re using for your terminal emulator.

This is the pacman configuration file. But there is no Color line.

Pamac configuration file

This is the configuration file of Pamac (not pacman). Open the file /etc/pacman.conf to find the said option.

My bad . Uncomented Color line in /etc/pacman.conf and colouring is here. But what about yay?
P.S. - It is applied to yay too.

[bill_t]

I think it will apply to yay also.
