> There! Now you have pretty colors! But say your JSON file is actually quite large, and it doesn't fit in your terminal window, so you want to use a pager, maybe something like less. > Well, showing a less invocation is actually quite annoying, so instead we'll just use cat instead. If `cat` is a pager on your system (which is the only way I make sense of this)... Why? And what's so annoying about paging to `less` (retaining colors) than your paging `cat`? I also don't see why the author doesn't `< $FILE | jq $FILTER` instead instead of `jq $FILTER $FILE`. Finally , if it makes the process easier for the only user of the script, that `cat` served a purpose and was not useless.
