ChromaTags_ForGit

Linguist color coding for Git-based programming, and much more. Inspired by GitHub Linguist

Lua

Lua is used for this project, as I don't utilize it enough. It is really good for scripting in projects like this.

Goals

ChromaTags are the names of the languages being displayed in the linguist.

There can only be 1 configuration per view (per webpage/repository) with a maximum of 6 total views. This means that there can be a linguist in up to 6 different locations at once. The following view types are available:

• Pi chart
• Tube
• Rectangle
• Squiggly tube
• Squiggly rectangle
• Bar list (each language is its own separate chart line, and can be sorted %+ to %- or %- to %+)

I am currently deciding whether 6 different configurations can be allowed at once.

Graphics

Multiple graphics options can be applied at once. They include:

• Transparency/Opaque
• Glow
• Rainbow
• Strobing level

Transitions:

Multiple transitions (animations) can be applied at once, but a left to right of the same type cannot be applied at the same time as a right to left of the same type.

• Fill up instantly on load (default)
• Fill up on load (left to right)
• Fill up on load (right to left)
• Fade in on load
• Electrify on load (full spectrum)
• Electrify on load (left to right)
• Electrify on load (right to left)
• Glow on load (full spectrum)
• Glow on load (left to right)
• Glow on load (right to left)

Location:

You can duplicate the counter to any/all locations, which include:

• Above the commit message
