## Historique du projet et usages

ccat is a small Go command-line utility that reimagines cat as a syntax-highlighting terminal viewer. Its official README describes it as a colorizing cat that works like cat while displaying source files with syntax highlighting.

### Historique du projet

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.

### Historique d'adoption

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.

### Modes d'utilisation

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.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

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.

### Chronologie

- 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
