| The [`prettybat`](https://github.com/eth-p/bat-extras/blob/master/doc/prettybat.md) script is a wrapper that will format code and print it with `bat`. | ||||
|  | ||||
| #### Highlighting `--help` messages | ||||
|  | ||||
| You can use `bat` to colorize help text: `$ cp --help | bat -plhelp` | ||||
|  | ||||
| You can also use a wrapper around this: | ||||
|  | ||||
| ```bash | ||||
| # in your .bashrc/.zshrc/*rc | ||||
| alias bathelp='bat --plain --language=help' | ||||
| help() { | ||||
|     "$@" --help 2>&1 | bathelp | ||||
| } | ||||
| ``` | ||||
|  | ||||
| Then you can do `$ help cp` or `$ help git commit`. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Please report any issues with the help syntax in [this repository](https://github.com/victor-gp/cmd-help-sublime-syntax). | ||||
