Improved Nano Syntax Highlighting Files

This repository holds {lang}.nanorc files that have improved definitions of syntax highlighting for various languages. These should be placed inside of the ~/.nano/ directory. Alternatively:

git clone git@github.com:scopatz/nanorc.git ~/.nano

*Note - if you have any issues, alternatively use:

git clone https://github.com/scopatz/nanorc.git ~/.nano

Once there you should add the languages you want to your nano configuration file ~/.nanorc. For example:

## C/C++
include "~/.nano/c.nanorc"

You can also append the contents of ~/.nano/nanorc into your ~/.nanorc to include all languages:

cat ~/.nano/nanorc >> ~/.nanorc

Finally, you can run an automatic installer using the following code:

$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scopatz/nanorc/master/install.sh | sh

or alternatively:

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scopatz/nanorc/master/install.sh -O- | sh

*Note -

some syntax definitions which exist in Nano upstream may be preferable to the ones provided by this package. The install.sh script may be run with -l or --lite to insert the included syntax definitions from this package with lower precedence than the ones provided by the standard package.
