About:
Rich-cli is a command-line interface tool that renders rich text, tables, progress bars, and syntax highlighting in terminal output. It leverages the Rich Python library to make console output more readable and visually appealing. This tool is ideal for developers wanting to enhance scripts and CLI applications with minimal effort.
Key Features:
  • Pretty-prints JSON and Python objects with syntax highlighting
  • Renders Markdown directly in the terminal
  • Displays images using terminal graphics protocols (Sixel, iTerm2)
  • Shows progress bars and tables for structured data
Use Cases:
  • Inspecting API responses or JSON configuration files with better readability
  • Creating visually engaging progress indicators for long-running scripts
  • Displaying documentation or README files directly in the console
Alternatives:
  • jq – jq is specialized for JSON parsing and manipulation, whereas rich-cli focuses on general terminal visualization and formatting.
  • bat – bat provides file content viewing with syntax highlighting, while rich-cli offers a broader suite of interactive terminal widgets.
