bat - Better cat

cat with syntax highlighting, line numbers, and Git integration.

Basic usage

# View file with syntax highlighting bat README.md # Multiple files bat file1.js file2.py # With line numbers (default) bat script.sh # Without line numbers bat -p script.sh

Viewing modes

# Plain mode (like cat) bat -p file.txt # Show non-printable characters bat -A file.txt # Squeeze blank lines bat -s file.txt # Paging (auto for large files) bat --paging=always file.txt bat --paging=never file.txt

Language detection

# Auto-detect from extension bat script.py # Force specific language bat -l javascript config.txt # Show all languages bat --list-languages

Themes

# List available themes bat --list-themes # Use specific theme bat --theme="Monokai Extended" file.py # Set default theme in config # ~/.config/bat/config: --theme="Dracula"

Line Ranges

# Show specific lines bat -r 10:20 file.txt # From line to end bat -r 100: file.txt # Start to specific line bat -r :50 file.txt # Multiple ranges bat -r 1:10 -r 50:60 file.txt

Git Integration

# Show Git modifications (added/removed/modified lines) bat --diff file.txt # Show decorations (Git + file header) bat --decorations=always file.txt

Output Control

# Output raw (no styling) bat --style=plain file.txt # Customize style bat --style=numbers,changes file.txt # Available styles: auto, full, plain, changes, header, grid, numbers, snip bat --style=header,grid,numbers file.txt

Common Use Cases

Quick file preview: bat file.json View logs with syntax highlighting: bat error.log Compare files visually: bat --diff file1.txt bat file2.txt Preview before editing: bat config.yaml && vim config.yaml Cat replacement in pipes: bat -p file.txt | grep "pattern" View specific function: bat -r 45:67 script.py # If function is on lines 45-67

Integration with other tools

As pager for man pages: export MANPAGER="sh -c 'col -bx | bat -l man -p'" man grep With ripgrep: rg "pattern" -l | xargs bat With fzf: fzf --preview 'bat --color=always --style=numbers {}' With diff: diff -u file1 file2 | bat -l diff

Configuration

Create ~/.config/bat/config for defaults: # Set theme --theme="Dracula" # Show line numbers, Git modifications and file header, but no grid --style="numbers,changes,header" # Use italic text on terminal --italic-text=always # Add custom mapping --map-syntax "*.conf:INI"

Performance Tips

Use -p for plain mode when piping Use --paging=never when output is used programmatically bat caches parsed files for faster subsequent access

Tips

Alias: alias cat='bat -p' for drop-in cat replacement Pager: Use as pager with export PAGER="bat" On Debian/Ubuntu: Command may be batcat instead of bat Custom syntaxes: Add to ~/.config/bat/syntaxes/ Performance: For huge files, use bat --paging=never or plain cat

Common flags

-p / --plain: Plain mode (no line numbers/decorations) -n / --number: Only show line numbers -A / --show-all: Show non-printable characters -l / --language: Set language for syntax highlighting -r / --line-range: Only show specific line range(s)
