no way to add a theme without blowing away languages?

[kaolin]

It would be really nice to be able to either add a theme to the existing themes, or at least be able to create your own set of themes without losing all of the languages/syntaxes....

I'll admit I may be doing something wrong.

Installed bat via homebrew. Followed instructions to create appropriate theme directory and added a theme. Couldn't reinit cache without creating a syntax directory. Reiniting cache then made it so I had just the two themes I had added, and no languages....

(I did realize that all the source syntaxes/languages were git submodules, so git submodule init, git submodule update will at least pull in the information to copy over... if you've git cloned the repo, versus using the tarball....)

Unfortunately, there is currently no way to do this (I would suggest to follow what you have done in your second comment).

I think it is a good idea to support this in general. I'll leave this ticket open as a feature request.

This could be tangentially related to this issue, but I am unable to install a syntax file (beefsack/GDScript-sublime) if I don't install any themes at the same time. If I create an empty themes directory, then no themes are available at all.

❯ bat cache --init
[bat error]: Could not load themes from '/home/hugo/.config/bat/themes'

❯ tree -L 2 $(bat cache --config-dir)
/home/hugo/.config/bat
└── syntaxes
    └── GDScript-sublime

This has been fixed in bat 0.5. Please see the release notes and README for details.
