# sequin
 
> Make ANSI escape sequences human-readable.
> Useful for debugging, learning, or inspecting terminal output.
> More information: <https://github.com/charmbracelet/sequin>.
 
- Describe ANSI escape sequences from a string:
 
`printf "{{Ciao, Baby.
}}" | sequin`
 
- Inspect colorized output from another command (e.g., `ls`):
 
`ls -l --color=always | sequin`
 
- Examine a file containing ANSI sequences (e.g., a TUI golden file):
 
`cat {{path/to/file.golden}} | sequin`
 
- Execute a command directly within a fake TTY to inspect its output:
 
`sequin -- {{ls -l go.*}}`
 
- Highlight raw ANSI sequences inline for easier reading:
 
`git -c status.color=always status -sb | sequin -r`
