Primary LanguageMakefileMIT LicenseMIT

A Nova extension to add syntax highlighting for Git commit messages.

Uses gbprod/tree-sitter-gitcommit, a Tree-sitter binding, to parse and syntax highlight. Compatible with Nova 10+.

To install this extension from source you need to compile the Tree-sitter binding, install it into the extension's directory, and activate the extension in Nova.

  1. From the repo's root directory (the same directory as this README), run make install. You will need a C/C++ compiler installed
  2. Open the repo's root directory in Nova (FileOpen... and select this directory)
  3. From the Extensions menu, click Activate Project as Extension (you need to enable development mode to see this menu item)
