Syntax highlighting/colorizing cat

Question

Is there a method to colorize the output of cat, the way grep does.

For grep, in most consoles it displays a colored output hi

Answer 1

Place in your ~/.bashrc

function ccat() { docker run -it -v "$(pwd)":/workdir -w /workdir whalebrew/pygmentize $1; }

then

ccat filename

Whalebrew creates aliases for Docker images so you can run them as if they were native commands. It's like Homebrew, but with Docker images.
