💻 bat: 58.7 k ⭐ I've been reading source files with cat for 15 years. Plain white text, no line numbers, no context. bat showed me what I was missing.

amplt.de💻 bat: 58.7 k ⭐bat is cat with syntax highlighting, line numbers, git change markers in the margin, and automatic paging for long files. Detects language from the file extension or shebang. Drop-in replacement — aliasing cat to bat is all it takes. If you read code in the terminal and your output is monochrome, `alias cat=bat` is a one-line quality-of-life upgrade.
