From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What you are looking for is called Syntax Highlight. Are you asking this for the terminal? I think this is a property of the shell. Fish has it builtin and for ZSH, there is a plugin: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting I don't know if its possible with Bash.
Closest thing for
bashwould beble.sh.Yeah, I used to use that before. But its slower for me. So now I use fish for interactions
Yeah, it's slow. I use it currently (because of better vi mode support) but plan to switch back to zsh.
