Installation

1. You will need to build helix from source for a custom language. Git clone their repo

git clone https://github.com/helix-editor/helix

2. Next clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/iFrostizz/tree-sitter-huff

it contains the highlight query, used to create fancy colors for huff files This highlights.scm will need to be referenced locally. But first, create the huff directory so you can reference it just after:

mkdir helix/runtime/queries/huff

then copy the file into helix dir:

cp tree-sitter-huff/queries/highlights.scm helix/runtime/queries/huff

now you will need to put the huff language in the languages.toml file of the helix repo, to add it:

[[language]]
name = "huff"
scope = "source.huff"
roots = []
file-types = ["huff"]
indent = { tab-width = 4, unit = "  " }

[[grammar]]
name = "huff"
source = { git = "https://github.com/iFrostizz/tree-sitter-huff", rev = "b159354ee2ec3ac2d8fb5c722944dced77d6c249"}

and now you should be good, all you gotta do it build it !

cargo install --path helix-term
