A collection of Bash scripts that integrate the bat syntax-highlighting pager with other command-line tools like ripgrep, man, git diff, and file watchers. It provides utilities such as batgrep, batman, batdiff, batwatch, batpipe, and prettybat.

Use cases

  • highlight ripgrep search results in the terminal
  • read man pages with syntax highlighting
  • view git diffs with color
  • watch files for changes and print them highlighted
  • pretty-print and highlight source code

When to choose

  • you use bat daily and want it integrated with grep, man, and git workflows
  • you want prettier terminal output for diffs and man pages

When to avoid

  • you don't use bat or prefer plain terminal output
  • you need a Windows-native solution without a POSIX shell
