    -r, --random, random	Run a random color script.
    -e, --exec, exec    	Run a spesific color script by SCRIPT NAME or INDEX.

Auto run

For even more fun, add the following line to your .bashrc or .zshrc and you will run a random color script each time you open a terminal:

### RANDOM COLOR SCRIPT ###
colorscript random

Integrated terminal emulator

Probably you don't want colorscript to run in your Integrated terminal (i.g. your vscode terminal). So, if you pass an env variable INTEG_EMU (with any value) the script won't run.

Try adding this to your settings.json (VSCode):

"terminal.integrated.env.linux": {
    "INTEG_EMU": "vscode"
}
