# TerminalGat.jl

I’m happy to announce the release of TerminalGat.jl

[https://github.com/AtelierArith/TerminalGat.jl](https://github.com/AtelierArith/TerminalGat.jl)

## What is `gat`?

The `gat` is a CLI tool written in Go(🐱 cat alternative written in Go.) and created by [koki-develop](https://github.com/koki-develop).

It works like `cat` (display file content in your terminal) and enables syntax highlighting. For instance, you can display files nicely 😃 :

Our Julia package TerminalGat.jl integrates nicely with `gat` and Julia REPL.

Our Julia package `TerminalGat.jl` exports the following functions and macros:

- `gat`
- `gess`
- `@gess`
- `@code`
- `@gode`

```julia-repl
julia> using Pkg; Pkg.add("TerminalGat")
julia> using TerminalGat
julia> gat("[README.md](http://readme.md/)")
julia> gess("largefile.jl") # works like `less` + highlights julia code
julia> @code sin(1.0) # extracts the method definition
julia> @gode sin(1.0) # highlights julia code
julia> @less sin(1.0) # InteractiveUtils.less
julia> @gess sin(1.0) # InteractiveUtils.less + highlights julia

```

The `@code` works like `InteractiveUtils.less` except it only focus the method definition.

The `@gode` is a macro works like `@code` + `gat`.

百聞は一見に如かず(Seeing is believing). Have a try.

I don’t know how people write as much code as this guy. I see 171 repos with 104 of them being his own.
