Option to omit binary content even when writing to a file

max-sixty opened this issue · 3 comments

I'm trying to write a repo of files all to a single file. I'd like to take advantage of bats feature to omit writing binary files.

But when piping output to a file, bat writes binary files. I think -f avoids writing binary files, but will then write colors, which I don't want.

I think it would work to have the opposite of --all (ref #2043), which will write binary even when writing to a TTY. Possibly this synthesizes to an option of --display-binary/--skip-binary...?
