ccat is the colorizing cat. It works similar to cat but displays content with syntax highlighting.

• JavaScript
• Java
• Ruby
• Python
• Go
• C

$ brew tap jingweno/ccat
$ brew install ccat

Reference: jingweno/homebrew-ccat

$ pacaur -S ccat
$ pacaur -S ccat-git

The ccat package will reflect the current release snapshot, while the ccat-git will be based on the current source available in the master branch of the git repo. You can use any AUR helper in place of pacaur AUR Helpers

Prerequisites:

• Git
• Go 1.4+

$ go get -u github.com/jingweno/ccat

$ ccat FILE1 FILE2 ...
$ ccat --bg=dark FILE1 FILE 2 ... # dark background
$ ccat # read from standard input
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jingweno/ccat/master/main.go | ccat

• nicer default color scheme
• customizable color scheme
• ?

You could use Python's pygments to achieve pretty much the same thing:

$ alias ccat="pygmentize -g"
$ ccat FILE1

ccat is a *nix alternative to pygments: no interpreter, one binary, native speed, POSIX standard etc..
