💡 About

From Fsymbols:

Text art, also called ASCII art or keyboard art is a copy-pasteable digital age art form.

It's about making text pictures with text symbols.

And from Wikipedia:

ANSI art is a computer art form. It is similar to ASCII art but also contains special ANSI escape sequences.

This is my personal collection of ANSI arts that I create and gather on r/unixporn, Stark's color scripts and other sources.

Note This collections will not include stand alone textart that can be easily generated from pixel art, image, figlet,... or ASCII art with less than two colors.

⌨️ Usage

First download or clone this repo:

git clone https://codeberg.org/NNB/ansi.git

cd to ansi directory:

cd path/to/ansi

then cat any .ansi file that you want:

cat file.ansi
