A UNIX style cat remake with rust, mainly for windows and other environments where cat isn't available. This isnt the whole implementation of cat, I'm doing this to learn rust and might add all the features in the future soon
This requires the rust toolchain, mainly cargo.
Clone the project and then run
$ cd cat && cargo install --path .
or you can do
$ cargo install --git https://github.com/Blaze2305/cat
This builds the binary for your architecture and stores in ~/.cargo so that you can use it throughout your system.
cat [FLAGS] [FILES]...
FLAGS:
