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.

STDINinstead of the filename (bat 0.13or older). - The git changes sidebar will not work with files that have been formatted.
