| Syntax highlighting for git commit messages, config files, etc. is |
| included with the vim distribution as of vim 7.2, and should work |
| automatically. |
| |
| If you have an older version of vim, you can get the latest syntax |
| files from the vim project: |
| |
| http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/git.vim |
| http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/gitcommit.vim |
| http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/gitconfig.vim |
| http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/gitrebase.vim |
| http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/gitsendemail.vim |
| |
| These files are also available via FTP at the same location. |
| |
| To install: |
| |
| 1. Copy these files to vim's syntax directory $HOME/.vim/syntax |
| 2. To auto-detect the editing of various git-related filetypes: |
| |
| $ curl http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/filetype.vim | |
| sed -ne '/^" Git$/, /^$/ p' >>$HOME/.vim/filetype.vim |
