How to tell atom editor to open .bashrc with shell script highlighting?












0















Every time I open my .bashrc file with atom it assumes it is plain text and I need to tell it the file is actually a shell scripts to format and highlight it properly. Is there way to permanently tell atom always assume .bashrc file is a shell script?

          You can add the following to your Atom configuration (config.cson):



          "*":
          core:
          customFileTypes:
          "source.shell": [
          "*.bashrc"
          ]


          Make sure not to overwrite your existing configuration and nest the customFileTypes key correctly, since CSON is an indentation-sensitive format.
