It lets you assign terminal colors (yellow, green, blue, cyan, red, white, bright_black, etc.) to help headers, option names, and version text, either globally or per-command. You pass color names as keyword arguments to HelpColorsGroup and HelpColorsCommand decorators, or use a custom_colors dictionary to target specific options or commands individually.\n\nThe package is useful when you want CLI tools to have more visually distinct help output without building your own help formatter from scratch. It integrates directly into Click's decorator pattern, so you swap in the colored class and add color parameters\u2014no changes to your command logic needed. The single runtime dependency is click itself.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you maintain a Click-based CLI and want colored help output without extra complexity. The install is straightforward and the dependency footprint is minimal. However, the aging maintenance status (last release 2023-11-18, no activity in over 1000 days) means you should verify compatibility with your Click version before committing to it in production; consider it stable but not actively developed."},"id":"click-help-colors","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/click-help-colors","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/click-help-colors.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/click-help-colors/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-11-18","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"click-help-colors","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Colorization of help messages in Click"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1300506,"position":4086,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.9.4"}
