Cypher Geany Syntax

What is it?

This is a basic [Geany] syntax for the awesome Cypher graph database query language. Cypher is like SQL for graph databases. You can find Cypher on Neo4j.

Why should I use it?

Because syntax highlighting is really helpful, that's why. Also, we want people to be able to do ad-doc queries and graph updates in their favourite shell, and not compromise readability, etc.

How should I use it?

git clone git://github.com/their/cypher-geany-syntax.git
cd cypher-geany-syntax/ && cp filetypes.Cypher.conf ~/.config/geany/filedefs/
Edit filetype_extensions.conf: (Tools->Configuration Files->filetype_extensions.conf)
Under [Extensions] add: Cypher=.cyp;.cypher;
Edit a file that has the extension .cyp or .cypher

Who should I thank?

robinedwards for extending the syntax.
their for extending to geany.
