If you're a Linux user, you might be looking for an alternative to the "cat" command that you use to view file contents in your terminal.
In that case, you might want to check out the "bat" utility instead. Unlike "cat," "bat" not only shows you the contents of a file but also highlights syntax and adds line numbers for better readability. Additionally, "bat" offers a range of customization options to help you personalize your output.
Give it a try, and you'll see how it can elevate your command line experience. You might find that once you switch to "bat," you won't want to go back to plain old "cat" again!
