Description

Displays file contents in the terminal with syntax highlighting, line numbers, paging, and Git change indicators. It makes reading source code and text files easier than plain cat in many cases.

Use it for viewing files, not editing them. Output appearance depends on terminal colors, themes, and file type detection.
