# lat
> lat | lazy cat - a cat clone with some quality-of-life embellishments
## About
`lat` is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. It's the awkward middle child in-between `cat` and `bat`. It was created because the author didn't want to have to configure `bat` just to get decent file printing, but wanted a little more control than `cat` offered.
`lat` does not expect to be used. `lat` expects to be forgotten and shunted into a corner because it does not belong in the slightest.
## Install
`lat` is not yet at a stable version (`v1.0.0`), so it is not on any package managers.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/secondary-smiles/lat.git
cd lat
make
./build/lat -V
# now add lat to your $PATH/do whatever you want with the binary
```
