Syntax highlighting for Github #392

Open mneumann opened 2 years ago

mneumann commented 2 years ago

Would be nice to see .savi file in color on Github :)

Github uses Linguist:

https://github.com/github/linguist/

to determine which syntax highlighter to use for a file. If we have an appropriate syntax highlighter, open up a pull request to Linguist to support Savi.

I would have done this long ago, but GitHub requires a certain number of repositories using that language before they will accept a language matcher for it.

See their docs here: https://github.com/github/linguist/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#adding-a-language

I would love to get this ASAP but due to those restrictions, I think we have to consider this ticket as blocked.

So, 200 is our goal :)
