Genarates colorscheme for corrent highlights in neovim

colorscheme_generator.lua

-- This script has been succeeded by 
-- https://github.com/shadmansaleh/colorsceme_generator.nvim
-- Thid script is nolonger maintained so please use the plugin version.

-- This file creates a colorscheme from aleady available colorscheme

-- Author : Shadman Saleh
-- Licence : You can do whatever you want with it but do provide proper cradit

-- Uses :
--   1. Copy this script to any &rtp/lua folder mostlikely ~/.config/nvim/lua
--      so the script can be required
--   2. Eun :lua require('colorscheme_genarator').create('colorscheme_name', load_colorscheme)
--       colorscheme_name is the name of colorzcheme load_colorscheme is a boolean
--       That indecates whether to load the colorscheme use currently
--       loaded highlights
--
--It will create a basic vim colorscheme project in current
--directory named color_name.nvim
--
--If you want to remove any chance of plugin high;ight groups start neovim with nvim -u NONE to run this script

@smithbm2316 thanks for looking into it . i've added your changes . You can keep your gist . Like the licence column states it's completely open you can do whatever you want with the code 😃

Of course! Thanks again for taking the time to write the code for this, it's working great for me so far!
