Matisse

Matisse is a simple IRB output highlighter. It aims at resolving some issues that i personally had with Wirble. Because Wirble does a lot more than just colorizing the IRB output and i never used these features, i decided to bake my own. Matisse is the result of this effort and i hope you like it, too! This is how it looks like:

Feel free to send pull requests if you find an issue with Matisse (see section “Contributing“ below).

Installation

Usage

To enable colorization, in your ~/.irbrc (or during an IRB session) do:
