## About ## About
`lat` is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. It's the awkward middle child in-between `cat` and `bat`. It was created because the author didn't want to have to configure `bat` just to get decent file printing, but wanted a little more control than `cat` offered. `lat` is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

as you can see, the extra features do take their toll on performance, but overall, `lat` is generally nearly on-par with `cat`, and *far* faster than `bat`. as you can see, the extra features do take their toll on performance, but overall, `lat` is generally nearly on-par with `cat`, and *far* faster than `bat`.
## Install
`lat` is not yet at a stable version (`v1.0.0`), so it is not on any package managers.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/secondary-smiles/lat.git
cd lat
make prep
make
./build/lat -V
# now add lat to your $PATH/do whatever you want with the binary
```
## Use ## Use
`lat` can, for the most part, be a direct drop in for `cat`, however it really shines when embedded into another program. For example, in `fzf` `lat` makes an excellent viewer with the command `fzf --command lat -l {}`. `lat` can, for the most part, be a direct drop in for `cat`.
