PRETTYBAT(1)

💅 NAME 💅

okay bestie, gather round — prettybat is here to pretty-print source code and highlight it with bat. that's the whole vibe. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like… the only thing better than syntax highlighting? syntax highlighting plus code formatting. periodt. 💖

this script combines the best of both worlds, no cap: it runs various formatters on your source files first, and then hands the glow-up to bat for the highlight. it's giving makeover montage. it's giving main character energy. 🔥

💀 CAVEATS 💀

not everything is flawless, bestie, gotta be honest with you 🙈

• The header displayed by bat will show STDIN instead of the filename (bat 0.13 or older). 😭
• The git changes sidebar will not work with files that have been formatted. yeah. it's tragic. ⭐

and that's the whole page, bestie 🧚💅 — this lil masterpiece lives in the General Commands Manual as PRETTYBAT(1), so go forth, format, highlight, and slay. 💖✨🎀🦋🌸
