What does this do?

This will get you the bleeding-edge syntax highlighting for bash/zsh. Which means your theme will be able to color your code better.

NOTE: The default VS Code theme does not color much. Switch to the Dark+ theme (installed by default) or use a theme like one of the following to benefit from the changes:

• XD Theme
• Noctis
• Kary Pro Colors
• Material Theme
• One Monokai Theme
• Winteriscoming
• Popping and Locking
• Syntax Highlight Theme
• Default Theme Enhanced

How do I use it?

Just install the VS Code extension and the changes will automatically be applied to all relevent files.
