Language ssh-config

[GabLeRoux]

Hi, I'm using ssh-config files (usually found in ~/.ssh/config) I'd be happy to see syntax highlighting available on github for this. I did not take the time to see how this could be done yet. Sometimes I share ssh configs in wikis.

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

There's a grammar available here:
https://github.com/lalyos/ssh-config/blob/master/grammars/ssh-config.cson

That would be awesome :)
Or let me know if it's already available and I did not see it 👍

Hi, i see you are using a lot textmate highlights

so here is a good grammar with correct licence

Thanks

I want to work on this issue , as a Good First Contributor, @GabLeRoux can you give link to any of your repos where you have a sshconfig committed , for testing ?

[GabLeRoux]

I don't have a repo, but here's an example of what I have locally in ~/.ssh/config:

edit: updated to use ssh-config backtick shorthand

[Alhadis]

Here you go mate. I smashed together an SSH config you can use. The grammar repository is already added to Linguist (vendor/grammars/language-etc), so you'll simply need to update the submodule locally. 👍

@atakanyenel Go for it! 😉

[Alhadis]

#4429 has been merged, so we can now close this issue.

You guys will start seeing highlighted SSH-configs on GitHub.com once the next release of Linguist has been cut.

Backtick Shorthand

What's the backtick shorthand for this?

Will this work?

```ssh-config
Host my-nickname
  Hostname my-nickname.example.com
  User me
```

Testing...

Hmm... let's see

sshconfig:

Host my-nickname
  Hostname my-nickname.example.com
  User me

ssh-config:

Host my-nickname
  Hostname my-nickname.example.com
  User me

ssh_config:

Host my-nickname
  Hostname my-nickname.example.com
  User me

sshdconfig:

Host my-nickname
  Hostname my-nickname.example.com
  User me

sshd-config:

Host my-nickname
  Hostname my-nickname.example.com
  User me

sshd_config:

Host my-nickname
  Hostname my-nickname.example.com
  User me

Result

Looks like ssh-config is the winner.
