This week's tip of the week is bat. Before we dig in, this week’s newsletter post is sponsored by ShipSite!
Tired of schlepping access tokens to your agents just to deploy a simple website? ShipSite simplifies the flow from Claude to a working URL. Built to work with agents, so you can deploy your site and barely leave the terminal. Send files, get a live URL instantly. Works great in Claude or whatever new LLM is poppin' off today. $0.10/day per site.
Alright, back to regular scheduled programming. If you're still using cat to look at files in your terminal, you're missing out. bat is a modern replacement with syntax highlighting, line numbers, and git integration built in.
The standout features are automatic syntax highlighting for recognized file types and git integration. If you've ever struggled to parse through large files using plain cat, bat gives you better visibility at a glance.
