Glow

Render markdown on the CLI, with pizzazz!

Installation

Use your fave package manager:

# macOS or Linux
brew install glow

# Arch Linux (btw)
yay -S glow

# Void Linux
xbps-install -S glow

# Nix
nix-env -iA nixpkgs.glow

# FreeBSD
pkg install glow

Or download a binary from the releases page. MacOS, Linux, FreeBSD binaries are available, as well as Debian and RPM packages. ARM builds are also available for Linux and FreeBSD.

Or just use go get:

go get github.com/charmbracelet/glow

Usage

Use a markdown source as the primary argument:

# Read from file
glow README.md

# Read from stdin
glow -

# Fetch README from GitHub / GitLab
glow github.com/charmbracelet/glow

# Fetch markdown from HTTP
glow https://host.tld/file.md

When glow is started without a markdown source, it will try to find a README.md or README file in the current working directory.

Word Wrapping

The -w flag lets you set a maximum width at which the output will be wrapped:

glow -w 60

Paging

The output can be displayed in the user's preferred pager with the -p flag. This defaults to the ANSI-aware less -r if $PAGER is not explicitly set.

Styles

You can choose a style with the -s flag. When no flag is provided glow tries to detect your terminal's current background color and automatically picks either the dark or the light style for you.

glow -s [dark|light]

Alternatively you can also supply a custom JSON stylesheet:

glow -s mystyle.json

Check out the Glamour Style Section to find more styles. Or make your own!
