Is it possible to get syntax highlighting for .gitignore files when using cat?

Update:

Tried sudo apt-get install python-pygments as suggested by @rovo but when using comments in the .gitignore it stops working.

Sample .gitignore (does not work):

# JetBrains IDEs

Sample .gitignore (works):

Use pygmentize, e. g. by defining aliases like dog or pig!

Add this lines to ~/.bash_aliases (or perhaps ~/.bashrc):

alias dog='pygmentize -g'

alias pig='pygmentize -g -O style=colorful,linenos=1'

Afterwards restart your terminal or run source ~/.bashrc.

You might need to install python-pygments package:

sudo apt-get install python-pygments

Then you can run dog .gitgnore or pig .gitgnore

pygmentize - highlights the input file

Pygments is a generic syntax highlighter for general use in all kinds of software such as forum systems, wikis or other applications that need to prettify source code.

It is still black/white - is it possible it doesn't work with zsh?

Doesn't work on bash either ... I suggest you using vimcat: vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4325 or the github link I posted on your question ;)

as the name .bashrc says, it's for bash, so yes. Use .zshrc instead

Works well with any file except .gitgnore ... :/ Don't know why!
