Testing

Currently there are no tests, they may come later, or you can add them yourself

Customization

Currently there are two types of logging

• info

• error

By default the info log is limegreen (#32CD32) and the error log is magenta (#FF00FF) these can be changed by setting the following environment variables with a corresponding hex value

export GIG_INFO_COLOUR=#fff

export GIG_ERROR_COLOUR=#fff

To change the default location for where the .gig.json db file gets stored an environment variable can be set to change this

export GIG_DB_LOCATION='/tmp/test'
