That’s the same as bat:[1] one of the features is syntax highlighting. Kind of unexpected to find a concatenation program… which also does that. [1] https://github.com/sharkdp/bat. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

Good find, thanks! I'll check if I prefer it to moar. As for bat, according to https://github.com/sharkdp/bat#using-bat-on-windows, the Chocolatey package simply installs `less` alongside `bat`. Seems like a good idea, but I haven't tried it. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

For this reason I have a zsh function in my .zshrc with bat (which pages by default, if it's longer than your console height): https://github.com/sharkdp/bat#highlighting---help-messages

  # in your .bashrc/.zshrc/*rc.
