BAT_CONFIG_DIR pointing at system bat config directory causes options to be applied twice (duplicate flag error) #3589
Description
What steps will reproduce the bug?
- Create a system-wide config directory/file in /etc/bat/config.
- Uncomment the "#--italic-text=always" line.
- Update the environment with BAT_CONFIG_DIR="/etc/bat" in /etc/environment, and then source /etc/environment.
- Open any file with bat. It will error out here.
- Set BAT_CONFIG_DIR="/etc/bat" instead to BAT_CONFIG_PATH="/etc/bat", and the error goes away.
What happens?
bat throws an error that says "error: the argument '--italic-text ' cannot be used multiple times".
What did you expect to happen instead?
A file to open without any error.
How did you install bat?
Portage/emerge from Gentoo.
