bat-extras: prettybat

Pretty-print source code and highlight it with bat.

The only thing better than syntax highlighting? Syntax highlighting and code formatting. This script combines the best of both worlds by using various formatters to format source files before using bat to highlight them.

Usage

prettybat [OPTIONS] [PATH...]

Options

Every option is passed through to bat. See man bat for more information.
