BAT(1) General Commands Manual BAT(1)
NAME
 bat - a cat(1) clone with syntax highlighting and Git integration.
USAGE
 bat [OPTIONS] [FILE]...
 bat cache [CACHE-OPTIONS] [--build|--clear]
DESCRIPTION
 bat prints the syntax-highlighted content of a collection of FILEs to
 the terminal. If no FILE is specified, or when FILE is '-', it reads
 from standard input.
 bat supports a large number of programming and markup languages. It
 also communicates with git(1) to show modifications with respect to the
 git index. bat automatically pipes its output through a pager (by de
 fault: less).
 Whenever the output of bat goes to a non-interactive terminal, i.e.
 when the output is piped into another process or into a file, bat will
 act as a drop-in replacement for cat(1) and fall back to printing the
 plain file contents.
OPTIONS
 General remarks: Command-line options like '-l'/'--language' that take
 values can be specified as either '--language value', '--lan
 guage=value', '-l value' or '-lvalue'.
 -A, --show-all
 Show non-printable characters like space, tab or newline. Use
 '--tabs' to control the width of the tab-placeholders.
 -p, --plain
 Only show plain style, no decorations. This is an alias for
 '--style=plain'. When '-p' is used twice ('-pp'), it also dis
 ables automatic paging (alias for '--style=plain
 --pager=never').
 -l, --language <language>
 Explicitly set the language for syntax highlighting. The lan
 guage can be specified as a name (like 'C++' or 'LaTeX') or pos
 sible file extension (like 'cpp', 'hpp' or 'md'). Use
 '--list-languages' to show all supported language names and file
 extensions.
 -H, --highlight-line <N:M>...
 Highlight the specified line ranges with a different background
 color For example:
 --highlight-line 40
 highlights line 40
 --highlight-line 30:40
 highlights lines 30 to 40
 --highlight-line :40
 highlights lines 1 to 40
 --highlight-line 40:
 highlights lines 40 to the end of the file
 --tabs <T>
 Set the tab width to T spaces. Use a width of 0 to pass tabs
 through directly
 --wrap <mode>
 Specify the text-wrapping mode (*auto*, never, character). The
 '--terminal-width' option can be used in addition to control the
 output width.
 --terminal-width <width>
 Explicitly set the width of the terminal instead of determining
 it automatically. If prefixed with '+' or '-', the value will be
 treated as an offset to the actual terminal width. See also:
 '--wrap'.
 -n, --number
 Only show line numbers, no other decorations. This is an alias
 for '--style=numbers'
 --color <when>
 Specify when to use colored output. The automatic mode only en
 ables colors if an interactive terminal is detected. Possible
 values: *auto*, never, always.
 --italic-text <when>
 Specify when to use ANSI sequences for italic text in the out
 put. Possible values: always, *never*.
 --decorations <when>
 Specify when to use the decorations that have been specified via
 '--style'. The automatic mode only enables decorations if an in
 teractive terminal is detected. Possible values: *auto*, never,
 always.
 -f, --force-colorization
 Alias for '--decorations=always --color=always'. This is useful
 if the output of bat is piped to another program, but you want
 to keep the colorization/decorations.
 --paging <when>
 Specify when to use the pager. To disable the pager, use '--pag
 ing=never' or its alias, -P. To disable the pager permanently,
 set BAT_PAGER to an empty string. To control which pager is
 used, see the '--pager' option. Possible values: *auto*, never,
 always.
 --pager <command>
 Determine which pager is used. This option will override the
 PAGER and BAT_PAGER environment variables. The default pager is
 'less'. To control when the pager is used, see the '--paging'
 option. Example: '--pager "less -RF"'.
 -m, --map-syntax <glob-pattern:syntax-name>...
 Map a glob pattern to an existing syntax name. The glob pattern
 is matched on the full path and the filename. For example, to
 highlight *.build files with the Python syntax, use -m
 '*.build:Python'. To highlight files named '.myignore' with the
 Git Ignore syntax, use -m '.myignore:Git Ignore'.
 --theme <theme>
 Set the theme for syntax highlighting. Use '--list-themes' to
 see all available themes. To set a default theme, add the
 '--theme="..."' option to the configuration file or export the
 BAT_THEME environment variable (e.g.: export BAT_THEME="...").
 --list-themes
 Display a list of supported themes for syntax highlighting.
 --style <style-components>
 Configure which elements (line numbers, file headers, grid bor
 ders, Git modifications, ..) to display in addition to the file
 contents. The argument is a comma-separated list of components
 to display (e.g. 'numbers,changes,grid') or a pre-defined style
 ('full'). To set a default style, add the '--style=".."' option
 to the configuration file or export the BAT_STYLE environment
 variable (e.g.: export BAT_STYLE=".."). Possible values: *auto*,
 full, plain, changes, header, grid, numbers, snip.
 -r, --line-range <N:M>...
 Only print the specified range of lines for each file. For exam
 ple:
 --line-range 30:40
 prints lines 30 to 40
 --line-range :40
 prints lines 1 to 40
 --line-range 40:
 prints lines 40 to the end of the file
 -L, --list-languages
 Display a list of supported languages for syntax highlighting.
 -u, --unbuffered
 This option exists for POSIX-compliance reasons ('u' is for 'un
 buffered'). The output is always unbuffered - this option is
 simply ignored.
 -h, --help
 Print this help message.
 -V, --version
 Show version information.
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
 <FILE>...
 Files to print and concatenate. Use a dash ('-') or no argument
 at all to read from standard input.
SUBCOMMANDS
 cache - Modify the syntax-definition and theme cache.
FILES
 bat can also be customized with a configuration file. The location of
 the file is dependent on your operating system. To get the default path
 for your system, call:
 bat --config-file
 Alternatively, you can use the BAT_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to
 point bat to a non-default location of the configuration file.
ADDING CUSTOM LANGUAGES
 bat supports Sublime Text .sublime-syntax language files, and can be
 customized to add additional languages to your local installation. To
 do this, add the .sublime-snytax language files to `$(bat --config-
 dir)/syntaxes` and run `bat cache --build`.
 Example:
 mkdir -p "$(bat --config-dir)/syntaxes"
 cd "$(bat --config-dir)/syntaxes"
 # Put new '.sublime-syntax' language definition files
 # in this folder (or its subdirectories), for example:
 git clone https://github.com/tellnobody1/sublime-purescript-syntax
 # And then build the cache.
 bat cache --build
 Once the cache is built, the new language will be visible in `bat
 --list-languages`.
 If you ever want to remove the custom languages, you can clear the
 cache with `bat cache --clear`.
ADDING CUSTOM THEMES
 Similarly to custom languages, bat supports Sublime Text .tmTheme
 themes. These can be installed to `$(bat --config-dir)/themes`, and
 are added to the cache with `bat cache --build`.
