I'm a zsh-er and use oh-my-zsh, but I borrowed the syntax highlighting, called it `sat` short for "source cat", and piped through less for paginated output: # before use: [sudo] easy_install pygments alias sat='pygmentize -O style=monokai -f console256 -g | less' I like these kinds of projects, because someone always shows me something in my set up I don't have, and it's really trivial to borrow from them. In return, I feel everyone should have a proper git log alias, here's mine: alias logg="git log --graph --oneline --all --decorate --abbrev-commit" Example output: http://d.pr/i/B9LT http://d.pr/i/B9LT
