Acabei modificando o src-hilite-lesspipe.sh do gnu source-highlight para que ele pudesse funcionar com arquivos canalizados: link
Isso significa que também invocar de forma regular:
less code.py
Você também pode obter destaque de fonte para arquivos sem extensão que não possuem nenhum dos recursos de inferência de linguagem que usa o recurso de destaque:
less /tmp/mycode
E (a motivação original para fazer isso) arquivos canalizados:
cat /tmp/file.rb | less
git show master:obfusicated.perl # implicit pipe to less via git's pager
Se você souber que seu código usa uma sintaxe em que source-highlight não possui nenhum arquivo de definição, você pode substituir o palpite definindo um idioma semelhante. c é geralmente um bom substituto:
SRCLANG=c git show master:app/views/layouts/application.html.erb
Aqui está uma cópia crua da essência que vive em: link
#! /bin/bash
#
# Based on http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/src-highlite.git/tree/src/src-hilite-lesspipe.sh.in
# by Lorenzo Bettini
#
# Modified by Jay Caines-Gooby to support piped files
# [email protected]
# @jaygooby
#
# Typically called by setting:
#
# export LESSOPEN="|-/path/to/src-hilite-lesspipe.sh %s"
# export LESS=-R
#
# If we're less-ing a file, %s will be replaced by the name of the file. If
# there's no file and we're reading from a pipe, then %s is set to -
#
# This script differs from the original src-hilite-lesspipe.sh
# in that it can handle pipes and files with no extensions and will
# attempt to guess their language using the file command.
#
# So as well as invoking on regular files:
#
# less some.rb
# less some.py
#
# It will should be able to work on:
#
# less no-extension-but-contains-perl
#
# and even with more complex examples (my original motivation
# https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/469982/how-can-i-use-source-highlight-with-git-show)
#
# git show master:some.rb
#
# It uses bashisms to do this, so is no longer a pure POSIX sh script.
