About

Emphasize is a simple CLI program that allows you to emphasize text from stdin or file by text, color, or indent

It works the same as grep tool, but instead of hiding inappropriate strings it emphasizes matched ones

Who needs it?

If you are looking for some lines in a continuous flow of logs, you may want to emphasize something you need without hiding everything else. That was the case I wrote this program for

How to run

For now, you have to compile it with cargo

git clone https://github.com/bronvic/emphasize.git
cd emphasize
cargo build --release
./target/release/emphasize [options] match_value
