Note that we have to switch off paging in order for this to work. We have also specified the syntax
explicitly (`-l log`), as it can not be auto-detected in this case.
### `git show`
You can combine `bat` with `git show` to view an older version of a given file with proper syntax
highlighting:
```bash
git show v0.6.0:src/main.rs | bat -l rs
```
#### `xclip`
The line numbers and Git modification markers in the output of `bat` can make it hard to copy
the contents of a file. To prevent this, you can call `bat` with the `-p`/`--plain` option or
simply pipe the output into `xclip`:
```
```bash
bat main.cpp | xclip
```
`bat` will detect that the output is being redirected and print the plain file contents.
