how can I have some color in my bash terminal? I wanted to

Answer 1

I tried this and it works perfect in Rails 3.2.13 and Ruby 2.0.0. You can customize colors and messages.

That solution is also in the form of a gem.

gem 'formatted_rails_logger'

Gem is better formatted but is not colorized. I prefer the first solution.

Regards!

EDIT:

Try gem meta_request and Rails Panel chrome extension. You can see the server log in your browser well organized, showing params, SQL queries, etc.
