Use Bat, Not Cat!

Sep 9, 2021 | 52 Words | 1 min |  #terminal

bat is like cat for programmers or power users. But then, everyone is a power user in the terminal!

Compare:

cat CMakeLists.txt

to

batcat CMakeLists.txt

Installing

  • Linux - apt install bat. But due to a conflict with another bat 🦇 you need to run it with batcat.
  • Windows - snoop install bat.
