`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`
