'The bat is a modern command-line program written in the Rust programming language, and I can confidently say it’s a great drop-in replacement for our beloved cat command. If you’re wondering why I’m hyping this so much and what it has to offer you that makes it worth replacing the cat with, then do check out its features below. Bat really has some cool features to offer, which are mentioned below. - Supports syntax highlighting for a large number of programming and markup languages. - Detect and display Git changes. - Pipe output to its own pager (e.g., “less“) if the output is too large for one screen. - Display non-printable characters such as spaces, tabs, line breaks, etc. - Offer multiple themes that can be easily configured using flags or environments. - A user-friendly command-line interface that, of course, inherits all the functionality of the “cat” command.' -- source: https://linuxtldr.com/installing-bat/ Cheers, Peter
