A shell script named build

[jzinn]

Bat does not highlight a shell script with the file name build that contains a shebang line of #!/bin/bash.

Bat does highlight other shell scripts that lack a .sh extension, like run, setup, etc.

I suspect bat considers a file named build to be an NAnt build file.

Would it be possible to change the precedence so that bat will interpret my build script as a shell script?

Yes, you are right. That's unfortunate.

Yes. You can add this to your config file:

--max-syntax build:bash

If you just want that behavior temporarily, you can always just use -l/--language:

bat build -lsh

Oh snap, that works. (With --map-syntax.) Thanks.

I thought it would require a code change to get bat to look for shebangs in files without extensions before using the filename to determine the syntax.
