Tiny dependencies are pretty nice for unix commands. I want to pipe a lot of things to `nocolor` but AFAIK that doesn’t exist.

StackOverflow suggests using perl with some nasty regex. I can’t memorize it so I have to add an alias to my dotfiles.

I’m sure I could find a package to install but point is that’s not common. Instead we have to curate massive dotfiles over years and years.

“Add an alias to your dotfiles” is not a nice response for open source maintainers though, so everyone just adds a —no-color flag.

I was going to say that the only good solution seems to be making a “moreutils” (like coreutils). Apparently a thing https://joeyh.name/code/moreutils/

Popular commands from dotfile repos should move to something like this. Sharing a massive dotfile repo with the world is kinda absurd.

(I use oh-my-zsh by the way. It is definitely the best option at the moment if there are a lot of common utilities you want)
