That is unfortunate... and also somewhat expected when giving something a three-letter name 😄. I'm sure there are even more projects with binaries called bat.

I'm not going to rename this project. I guess all we can do is to mark these packages as "conflicting" in package managers.

@sharkdp If we do that, we can't install then in same time.

As I said, it's unfortunate - yes. However, you should be able to rename the bat executable (from this repository) to anything you like and it should still work the same. It will even show the correct usage when calling with --help.
