LanguageProject Introduction
Summary
Bat aims to improve the terminal experience for viewing files by providing a feature-rich, user-friendly tool that goes beyond the basic functionality of 'cat'.
Problem Solved
While 'cat' is a fundamental Unix utility, it lacks features like syntax highlighting for code, line numbers, and integration with version control systems, making it less effective for inspecting code or large configuration files directly in the terminal.
Core Features
Syntax Highlighting
Automatically highlights code based on file type for better readability.
Git Integration
Shows Git modifications (added, modified, deleted lines) right next to the line numbers.
Automatic Paging
Pipes output to a pager (like less) automatically when the content exceeds the terminal height.
Show Non-printable Characters
Allows visualizing whitespace and other non-printable characters.
