ZSH-Function with bat as Syntax highlighter and xclip

[vansoest]

Maybe useful for someone. I have implemented this small function for the zsh shell to have fancy syntax code highlighting and auto copying the output to the xorg clipboard with xclip.

function sgpt() {
  command sgpt "$@" | tee >(xclip) | bat -l log --no-pager --plain -l C++
}

This version has a --lang | -l param for the language. It's used for highlighting and as an instruction to gpt

It doesn't tell sgpt the language tho, you still need to say that in the prompt

    if [[ ! " $@ " =~ " --code " ]]; then
		command sgpt "${args[@]}" | glow # lang isn't used here but the check above is still necesary to remove the param
    else
		command sgpt "${args[@]}" | tee >(xclip) | bat -l log --no-pager --plain -l "${lang}"
    fi
}

With this at the end it only highlights code if the --code role is used and renders it as markdown instead. #333

I tried to include the language but that's a headache
