Is it possible to pipe the formatted content of bat to a file?

[jmcharter]

I'm trying to pipe the nicely formatted content (including line numbers and file names) to a file

bat path/to/dir/* | file.txt

But this only pipes the plain text without file names. I can see why that would typically be desirable, but is there a way to include everything?

You could try explicitly setting the style so it doesn't resort to plain while piping https://github.com/sharkdp/bat#output-style

Hi Keith

Thanks for the suggestion. I did already try that, and unfortunately the styling gets stripped.

--decorations=always should include it, I guess.

Yes, this worked. I missed this option when I was looking, but the description is perfectly adequate. Thank you.
