[Feature request] Option to remove all colorization?

[a-mnesia]

Is there any kind of option for removing all colorization from prompts and messages from the gocryptfs client software?

If not, could I request this as an option for a future release?

Thank you very much.

Hi! Why no color?

PS: Note that color is automatically disabled when gocryptfs is not running in a terminal.

Hi. Thank you for your reply! I use colors in a very specific way on my desktop, and I prefer all my terminal programs to be non-colorized. This includes "ls", "vi", "emacs", etc., and I'd like to be able to select the same behavior with "gocryptfs". If possible, I would just like some sort of --no-color option. If not, I can work around this, because I can download the source code and add that option, myself. But I'm just thinking that other users might also like a --no-color option.

I understand. However, I specifically prefer to not see colors in all programs that I am running in terminal windows. Again, I can code this myself, using the gocryptfs code base. But I'm thinking that there might be other users who might also like some sort of --no-color option.

Feature request makes sense and is easy to do. I will implement this.

Do you know / prefer the NO_COLOR env variable? https://no-color.org/

Thanks for that pointer! Lintian now does, too.
