@mk12 Only if you find the time... does this look good to you? @JamyGolden This only changes links. But the actual base16 themes in the repo are not touched? |
|
@sharkdp yes that is correct, themes are not touched in this PR. The "base16" and "base16-256" theme in the bat repo allow the ansi colors, set by base16-shell, to be automatically applied to bat. This change just updates the readme links so if people discover base16 through bat they can use the maintained and community version of it. |

@sharkdp It doesn't make much difference as far as bat is concerned, I think @JamyGolden is basically requesting a vote in favor of their fork as the actively maintained project. From a cursory look, it seems that the chriskempson repo is not really maintained (no commits in 2 years), and he has been a poor collaborator, deleting repos without warning, not responding to contributors, blocking people. In fact I was annoyed recently that I couldn't find a base16 issue I wanted to refer to — now I realize Chris deleted it. So I'm in favor of merging this. (Aside: I always found the whole base16 ecosystem to be way too complicated for my needs. All I care about is having a convention for CLI programs to use the 16 color palette in a way that works with both dark and light terminal themes, i.e. treat 0 and 7 as background/foreground instead of black/white. And then if you need a few more slots, you can use some from the full 256 palette. That's why base16 has a standard variant and 256 variant. Base16-shell is a hack for terminal emulators that don't let you customize the full 256 colors. I use the kitty terminal, which supports customizing all of them, so I use my own setup https://github.com/mk12/base16-kitty.) |

@sharkdp I've resolved the CHANGELOG conflict, are you happy to merge this PR? |

@sharkdp I've resolved the conflicts again, so should be ready to merge if you're happy with it 😅 (failing windows binary build shouldn't be related to this PR since this PR just includes |
Tinted Theming (previously base16-project) is a maintained and community run version of base16: tinted-theming/home#51
A discussion around creating a base16 organization originally took place in 2016 on an issue in the original base16 repo: https://web.archive.org/web/20220603173440/https://github.com/chriskempson/base16/issues/74. The repo was subsequently nuked and most git history as well as PRs and issues were destroyed (which is why I linked the web archive version of the issue).
