`bat` is a more human pleasing replacement of `cat` with the following features:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- syntax highlighting support
|
|
|
|
|
- git integration
|
|
|
|
|
- automatic paging
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To test it out I wrote a file called `test.py`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
|
|
|
from collections import Counter
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
items = [1,3,1,6,3]
|
|
|
|
|
c = Counter(items)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
print(c[1])
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And here's a screenshot of my terminal session when I called `bat`
