# Cat Files With Color Using Bat
|
|
|
|
The time-tested utility `cat` is probably one of the most used unix
|
|
commands. It prints the contents of the file to stdout. You can use it to
|
|
get a quick view of a file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We live in a world of color and our terminal emulators are capable of so
|
|
much more. There is an alternative to `cat`, called `bat`, that provides
|
|
syntax highlighting based on the type of file.

This is an open-source utility written in Rust. You can check it out on
|
|
[github](https://github.com/sharkdp/bat).
