Rich-CLI is a command line toolbox for fancy terminal output, built on the Rich library. It syntax-highlights many file types with specialized rendering for Markdown, JSON, and Jupyter notebooks, and lets you format text from the command line.
Use cases
- syntax highlight source files in the terminal
- render markdown files with colors in the terminal
- pretty-print and colorize JSON from the command line
- view Jupyter notebooks in the terminal
- print text with markup, alignment, and rules from the shell
- display files with line numbers and indentation guides
When to choose
- you want pretty terminal rendering of code, Markdown, or JSON without writing any code
- you already use the Rich library and want a quick CLI companion
- you need a cross-platform tool installable via pip, pipx, Homebrew, or conda
When to avoid
- you need to build rich terminal UIs programmatically rather than format output from the shell
- you need a full pager or file viewer rather than one-shot rendering
- you work outside Python ecosystems and prefer tools built into your shell
