 The [`prettybat`](https://github.com/eth-p/bat-extras/blob/master/doc/prettybat.md) script is a wrapper that will format code and print it with `bat`.
 
+#### Highlighting `--help` messages
+
+You can use `bat` to colorize help text: `$ cp --help | bat -plhelp`
+
+You can also use a wrapper around this:
+
+```bash
+# in your .bashrc/.zshrc/*rc
+alias bathelp='bat --plain --language=help'
+help() {
+    "$@" --help 2>&1 | bathelp
+}
+```
+
+Then you can do `$ help cp` or `$ help git commit`.
+
+Please report any issues with the help syntax in [this repository](https://github.com/victor-gp/cmd-help-sublime-syntax).
