Agreed. I use this program all day, every day. Viewing a file without it now is just painful. :-)

I have these aliases, which are useful when piping output to them:

    alias bd='bat -p -l diff'
    alias bh='bat -p -l help'
    alias bi='bat -p -l ini'
    alias bj='bat -p -l json'
    alias bl='bat -p -l log'
    alias bm='bat -p -l man'
    alias by='bat -p -l yml'

     alias bat='rview'

rview from vim, OFC.

Problem solved, you don't overwrite the files, you get all the vim options and a much better syntax highlighting.

Oh, and, as a plus, you gain xxd, which can be useful in tons of contexts.
