1 Syntax highlighting for git commit messages, config files, etc. is
2 included with the vim distribution as of vim 7.2, and should work
5 If you have an older version of vim, you can get the latest syntax
6 files from the vim project:
8 http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/git.vim
9 http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/gitcommit.vim
10 http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/gitconfig.vim
11 http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/gitrebase.vim
12 http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/gitsendemail.vim
14 These files are also available via FTP at the same location.
18 1. Copy these files to vim's syntax directory $HOME/.vim/syntax
19 2. To auto-detect the editing of various git-related filetypes:
20 $ cat >>$HOME/.vim/filetype.vim <<'EOF'
21 autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG setf gitcommit
22 autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.git/config,.gitconfig setf gitconfig
23 autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead git-rebase-todo setf gitrebase
24 autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead .msg.[0-9]*
25 \ if getline(1) =~ '^From.*# This line is ignored.$' |
28 autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.git/**
29 \ if getline(1) =~ '^\x\{40\}\>\|^ref: ' |
