how to color each new command in terminal?

  • 772

As I am running commands in the terminal, some times when the resulted log is larg, I get lost looking for the command line it self.

And some times when I need to distinguish between logs of the previous command and logs of the command after ..

So, what's the recommended way to solve this issue? I thought about colors, but, I have no idea what to do or how to configure the terminal?

Is there another terminal which support colors, bold, or may be italic .. ??

command-line
