I’m not really sure if this is a fully-fledged “package” announcement per se, but I (well, mostly Claude) wrote a small script that will query your Neovim colorscheme and generate a `~/.julia/config/faces.toml` file for you that tries to match your editor.

Since this is installable via pkg app develop, it’s likely that I will never register this on the General registry. It’s also not tested, beyond me trying it out a few times on the command line. However, it works well enough for me so I thought I’d share 🙂

TLDR:

```julia-auto
] app dev https://github.com/penelopeysm/NvimToREPLColor.jl

```

then

```julia-auto
nvim2juliarepl

```

The readme has more details, as well as some side by side comparisons: [GitHub - penelopeysm/NvimToREPLColor.jl: Bring your Neovim theme to Julia 1.13! · GitHub](https://github.com/penelopeysm/NvimToREPLColor.jl/tree/main)

In particular, this also gives you an (admittedly roundabout) way of installing arbitrary colorschemes into the Julia REPL via the following steps:

1. Install the colorscheme in neovim (usually this means adding a Neovim package).
2. Check that you can run `:colorscheme myscheme` in Neovim, where `myscheme` is the name of the colorscheme you’re interested in.
3. Install the app above.
4. Run `nvim2juliarepl -c myscheme`.
