Well, there is this chapter: https://github.com/sharkdp/bat#on-ubuntu-using-most-recent-deb-packages

Do you think something else should be added to the documentation?

Hi @sharkdp,

Do you think something else should be added to the documentation?

Maybe just a clarification as the same documentation reads:

On Debian bat is currently only available on the unstable "Sid" branch.
