Install / Update Tokyo Night syntax highlight theme for bat.

bat supports Sublime Text theme and syntax highlighting definition files. So we can use *.tmTheme files in extras/sublime/ directory at folke/tokyonight.nvim repository. This is delightful for some, like me!

Here is the script that adds Folke's edition of Tokyo Night theme to bat. It automates the tedious install (git clone), update (git pull) and build (bat cache --build) process.

The installation is not a simple clone. In here, there are only a few files in folke/tokyonight.nvim that are actually needed for us. The majority of files should be ignored and not saved. For instance, README.md, lua/, colors/, etc.
Similarly, for updates, superfluous files should not be checked.

And the build is executed only when there are updates.

• Install if not installed
  • tokyonight_day
  • tokyonight_moon
  • tokyonight_night
  • tokyonight_storm
• Update if there are updates
• Build a cache if the themes are expired

git clone https://github.com/0xTadash1/bat-into-tokyonight
cd bat-into-tokyonight
./bat-into-tokyonight

I recommend you to do (./bat-into-tokyonight >/dev/null 2>&1 &) in a file such as .bashrc or .zshrc.

• Use a environment variable: i.e. export BAT_THEME="tokyonight_night"
• Use a option with bat: i.e. bat --theme="tokyonight_storm"
• Use a option in a config file for bat

Remove this plugin directory, and then:

command rm -rf "$(command bat --config-dir)/themes/tokyonight.nvim/"
command bat cache --build

I prefer the colors of Folke flavored Tokyo Night theme.

Enkia, probably the original creator of Tokyo Night, also makes a Sublime Text theme. If you prefer the original author's, you should use that. It's much stable.
