Question: in GitHub, what is the color scheme used to syntax highlight PHP?

[u01jmg3]

For example:

<?php
    /**
     * Render an exception into an HTTP response.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
     * @param  \Exception               $exception
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */

    public function render($request, Exception $exception)
    {
        if ($exception instanceof SomeException) {
            // return an HTTP response describing the exception...
        }

        return parent::render($request, $exception);
    }

• Does it exist as a theme for N++, Sublime or Atom?

I think its just unofficially called GitHub color scheme

https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Github%20Color%20Theme https://atom.io/themes/atom-github-theme

Search "github" on https://github.com/mbadolato/iTerm2-Color-Schemes#screenshots

https://help.github.com/articles/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks/ says:

We use Linguist to perform language detection and syntax highlighting.

Then have a look into linguist if they have the CSS stylesheets.

Thank you both

GitHub syntax highlighting is performed by GitHub's own PrettyLights syntax highlighter (not released). They do provide a PrettyLights syntax theme generator which produces:

• GitHub light and dark theme.
• Atom light and dark theme.
• Ace themes.
• Textmate themes.

To see which languages are actually supported, check out the linguist languages.yml file.
