Colorable writer for windows.
For example, most of logger packages doesn't show colors on windows. (I know we can do it with ansicon. But I don't want.) This package is possible to handle escape sequence for ansi color on windows.


logrus.SetFormatter(&logrus.TextFormatter{ForceColors: true})
logrus.SetOutput(colorable.NewColorableStdout())
logrus.Info("succeeded")
logrus.Warn("not correct")
logrus.Error("something error")
logrus.Fatal("panic")
You can compile above code on non-windows OSs.
