Its official README describes it as a colorizing cat that works like cat while displaying source files with syntax highlighting. ### Projektgeschichte The upstream GitHub repository was created in May 2015 and published MIT-licensed Go code. The README positions ccat as a native-speed, single-binary alternative to syntax highlighters such as Pygments and GNU source-highlight. ### Adoptionsgeschichte The README documents Homebrew installation on macOS, Arch Linux/AUR installation, standalone binaries, and source installation with Go. The supplied package facts also show distribution through Homebrew and Scoop. ### Wie es verwendet wird Typical usage is the cat-like form ccat FILE1 FILE2, reading from standard input, producing HTML output, selecting dark-background colors, changing token colors, or aliasing cat=ccat for interactive terminal use. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren ccat matters as an example of the mid-2010s wave of single-purpose Go CLIs shipped as static-ish binaries and immediately wrapped by package managers. It is also a predecessor-in-spirit to later terminal viewers that made syntax-highlighted source display feel routine. ### Zeitleiste - 2015: GitHub repository created. - 2015: README documented Homebrew, AUR, standalone binary, and go get installation paths. - 2022: Repository metadata shows later maintenance activity. ### Related projects - The README credits Sourcegraph's syntaxhighlight package and names Pygments and GNU source-highlight as alternatives. ### Quellen - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Details aus der Quelldatenbank - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** ccat - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Conflicts With:** ccrypt - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - Scoop - main/ccat: normalized package name match | Scoop official bucket manifest trees: bucket/ccat.json from https://api.github.com/repos/ScoopInstaller/Main/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Verwandte Links - [Source-control packages](https://pkg.so/de/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/de/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://pkg.so/de/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://pkg.so/de/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [go](https://pkg.so/de/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [gat](https://pkg.so/de/brew/gat/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cat, cli, developer-tools, go, syntax-highlighting. - [nyan](https://pkg.so/de/brew/nyan/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cat, cli, developer-tools, go, syntax-highlighting. - [micro](https://pkg.so/de/brew/micro/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go, syntax-highlighting, terminal. - [fzf](https://pkg.so/de/brew/fzf/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go, terminal. - [bat](https://pkg.so/de/brew/bat/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cat, cli, developer-tools, syntax-highlighting. - [glow](https://pkg.so/de/brew/glow/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, terminal, viewer. - [jjui](https://pkg.so/de/brew/jjui/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go, terminal. - [peco](https://pkg.so/de/brew/peco/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go, terminal. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
