The documentation for --syntax-theme says that it defaults to the value of the BAT_THEME environment variable (if it contains a valid theme name).
I don't have BAT_THEME set. Instead, I configured bat by following catppuccin/bat's instructions, i.e. --theme="Catppuccin Mocha" in ~/.config/bat/config.
In order of descending priority, delta seems to use:
syntax-theme option in the git config file
BAT_THEME environment variable
theme option in the bat config file
The documentation should be updated to reflect this.
