Default colorschemes for light terminals about bat HOT 9 CLOSED

Thank you for the feedback.

Yes, there should be a way to easily configure the highlighting theme (see also #1).

In the meantime, you could try to do this (see "Customization" section in the README):

# Get theme
mkdir -p ~/.config/bat/themes
cd ~/.config/bat/themes
git clone https://github.com/braver/Solarized
ln -sf "Solarized/Solarized (light).tmTheme" Default.tmTheme

# Get language definition files
mkdir -p ~/.config/bat/syntaxes
cd ~/.config/bat/syntaxes
git clone https://github.com/sublimehq/Packages/
rm -rf Packages/Markdown
git clone https://github.com/jonschlinkert/sublime-markdown-extended

# Initialize cache
bat cache --init

from bat.

For anyone coming here and cloning the braver/Solarized repo, note that they’ve converted to sublime-theme format. You can clone the older tmTheme version by git checkout 87e01090cf after you clone the repo.

Even without customization, you should now be able to use

bat --theme="Monokai Extended Light" README.md

Another way of handing what @jeffbyrnes brings up:
git checkout -b b1.6.0 1.6.0
that way you use the tag they have in the repo.

Thanks! Tried this, two errors with the 0.2.3 binary Mac release:

1. Init-cache seems to use ~/L/P/bat, not .config?

⋊> ~ bat init-cache                                                                          10:09:20
[bat error]: Could not load themes from '/Users/nevyn/Library/Preferences/bat/themes'

2. Tried remedying with ln -s ~/.config/bat/themes ~/Library/Preferences/bat/themes. Now I no longer have syntax highlighting, everything's rendering gray o_O

On macOS - yes. I should update this in the README.

You can always reset everything by removing the cache folder (~/Library/Caches/bat).

In the script described above, I had to replace ~/.config/bat/syntax by ~/.config/bat/syntaxes, as described in the README.

@pylipp Thanks. I have adapted my comment above.
