+# Cat Files With Color Using Bat
+
+The time-tested utility `cat` is probably one of the most used unix
+commands. It prints the contents of the file to stdout. You can use it to
+get a quick view of a file.

+
+We live in a world of color and our terminal emulators are capable of so
+much more. There is an alternative to `cat`, called `bat`, that provides
+syntax highlighting based on the type of file.
