Terminal colors for your .aliases file (macOS)
# First are the color variables
# Second is a function that will test the colors on your machine (tested on bash and zsh on macOS)
# Some terminals/OS's have weird inconsistencies with the escape codes,
# so google will be your friend if this doesn't work quite right
#
# You can copy/paste these into your .bashrc or similar file
# Don't forget to source the file again or restart your terminal session to apply!
