Similar to https://github.com/sharkdp/bat but Go instead of Rust

A missed opportunity to name it `rat`.
Flying rat > Earthbound rat

Besides, this way I can type 'man bat' and scowl.

Totally off-topic, but: flying rats are so cute. I didn't realize that until we started getting some that would hang in the alcove, above our door, in the summer occasionally. They aren't really a threat either. As long as you don't go out of your way to bug them, they just sleep cozily. The button noses are great.
gat is cat in Catalan: https://lingva.ml/ca/en/gat
What is the terminal or share they use in screenshots at that readme?
Looks like fira code font https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode and the color scheme is similar to the soft default Alacritty terminal uses https://alacritty.org/
Looks like any terminal with a "▸" as prompt. The rest is the output from bat.
