It bothers me that some tools (namely bat) do not come with their own man pages. I think it goes against the Unix philosophy.
@bender Hmmm 🤔 Where do you put man pages outside of the contest of a package manager? 🤔

In Linux all man pages are under /usr/share/man/. Packages build, and install, their own man pages. Now bat is one of those odd ones that doesn't.
@bender Yea but what about non-root?

@prologic you set the MANPATH and man pages install on that location. I found the man page for Ubuntu 24.04, and got it installed now: https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/noble/man1/batcat.1.html
@bender So it should be possible to install man pages in one's home directory👌

@prologic indeed. The batcat package under Ubuntu doesn't install one.
