Found a post about colorized `cvs up` output but wasn’t very happy with the multiple pipes to sed so I thought I’d see what I could do.

Below is the awk code I came up with:

$1=="A" {printf("\033[1;32m%s\n",$0)}
$1=="C" {printf("\033[1;31m%s\n",$0)}
$1=="M" {printf("\033[1;34m%s\n",$0)}
$1=="U" {printf("\033[1;37m%s\n",$0)}
$1=="?" {printf("\033[1;36m%s\n",$0)}


Save it in a file named something like color-cvs.awk and use it like:

cvs -q up | awk -f color-cvs.awk


Doing it this way makes it easier to customize colors, I think.
