To update or switch versions, run `webi bat@stable` (or `@v0.18`, `@beta`, etc).
|
|
|
|
### Files
|
|
|
|
These are the files / directories that are created and/or modified with this
|
|
install:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
~/.config/envman/PATH.env
|
|
~/.config/bat/config
|
|
~/.local/opt/bat/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Windows Users**
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
\Windows\System32\vcruntime140.dll
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will also attempt to install the
|
|
[Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable](/vcruntime) via `webi vcruntime`. If it
|
|
fails and you get the error _`vcruntime140.dll` was not found_, you'll need to
|
|
[install it manually](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170).

## Cheat Sheet
|
|
|
|
> `bat` is pretty much what `cat` would be if it were developed today's in the
|
|
> world of Markdown, git, etc.
|
|
|
|
### How to alias as `cat`
|
|
|
|
Use [aliasman](/aliasman):
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
aliasman cat 'bat --style=plain'
|
|
alias cat='bat --style=plain'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or place this in `~/.config/envman/alias.env` and manually update your
|
|
`.bashrc`, `.zshrc`, `.profile`, and/or `~/.config/fish/config.fish` to source
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
alias cat="bat --style=plain"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For situations in which you must use `cat` exactly, remember that you can escape
|
|
the alias:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
\cat foo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### How to change the default behavior
|
|
|
|
Take a look at the config options:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
bat --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Check to see where your config file is:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
echo 'N' | bat --generate-config-file
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Edit the config file:
|
|
|
|
`~/.config/bat/config`:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
# no numbers or headers, just highlighting and such
|
|
--style="plain"
|
|
```
