I really like bat. It's cat, but with syntax highlighting and also shows line numbers, git changes, and all that jazz.

I use it as a drop-in replacement for cat with the following options:

alias cat='bat --paging=never --style=plain'

It's really powerful!

Wow! I have already replaced grep with ripgreg thanks to @dmfay mentioning it. I just tried bat and it's cool as well, thanks! Rust for the win I guess :D
