Very cool tip!! In my case, however, my .cshrc file might be a better
choice since I don't use bash, and of course the syntax is different. As
someone else pointed out the above will break scripts that use grep. A
moment or two of Googling turned up another option. If one uses
--color=auto, it will colorize output going to a terminal but won't if the
output is piped to another command or redirected to a file. The downside
is that with --color=auto output piped to less -r doesn't get colorized.
I'm sure there's a creative way to keep from breaking existing scripts and
still be able to view colorized output via less.
You can always try different values of GREP_COLOR. Although I can't seem
to get yellow.
After another moment of Googling, for yellow, use:
setenv GREP_COLOR '1;33'
or your shell's equivalent.
