🦇 Bat into Tokyo Night 🌃

Install / Update Tokyo Night syntax highlight theme for bat.

bat supports Sublime Text theme and syntax highlighting definition files. So we can use *.tmTheme files in extras/sublime/ directory at folke/tokyonight.nvim repository. This is delightful for some, like me!

ℹ About

Here is the script that adds Folke's edition of Tokyo Night theme to bat. It automates the tedious install (git clone), update (git pull) and build (bat cache --build) process.

The installation is not a simple clone. In here, there are only a few files in folke/tokyonight.nvim that are actually needed for us. The majority of files should be ignored and not saved. For instance, README.md, lua/, colors/, etc.
Similarly, for updates, superfluous files should not be checked.

And the build is executed only when there are updates.

✨ Features

• Install if not installed
  • tokyonight_day
  • tokyonight_moon
  • tokyonight_night
  • tokyonight_storm
• Update if there are updates
• Build a cache if the themes are expired

🚀 How to use

To Install or Update the themes

git clone https://github.com/0xTadash1/bat-into-tokyonight
cd bat-into-tokyonight
./bat-into-tokyonight

I recommend you to do (./bat-into-tokyonight >/dev/null 2>&1 &) in a file such as .bashrc or .zshrc.

3 ways to switch theme for bat

• Use a environment variable: i.e. export BAT_THEME="tokyonight_night"
• Use a option with bat: i.e. bat --theme="tokyonight_storm"
• Use a option in a config file for bat

Uninstall / Cleanup themes

Remove this plugin directory, and then:

command rm -rf "$(command bat --config-dir)/themes/tokyonight.nvim/"
command bat cache --build

❓ Why bring a Neovim theme?

I prefer the colors of Folke flavored Tokyo Night theme.

Enkia, probably the original creator of Tokyo Night, also makes a Sublime Text theme. If you prefer the original author's, you should use that. It's much stable.
