ccat:色付きcatのある生活

はじめに

設定ファイルをcatで見てみて、うーんよみづらいとなってvim -Rで再度開く・・・という手間をかけることが多く困っていたが、
catの表示自体を色付きにできるコマンドがあった。

catのaliasとしてbash_profileにも記載しておく。
--bg=darkは背景が黒くなるわけではなく、黒背景に合わせた文字配色にしてくれる、という意図らしい。青字が少し見やすくなった。

[root@my-instance ~]# cat  ~/.bash_profile
# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
        . ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

export PATH
alias cat='ccat --bg=dark'　　★追記

以下のような感じになる。
