About
Show files in your terminal with syntax colors and Git change markers in the left margin. It works like cat: you can open one file, several files at once, or text piped in from another command, and long output opens in a pager automatically.
When you pipe bat into another program or a file, it falls back to printing plain contents, so it can replace cat in scripts. You can reveal non-printable characters, set options in a configuration file and use it as a previewer for tools such as fzf.
Highlights
- Syntax highlighting for many languages
- Shows Git modifications in the sidebar
- Acts as a plain cat when piped
Who it's for
