@aeschli can you please have a quick review. You know a lot more about this than I do.

The change looks good!

@Hirse If you wanted you could make a similar addition for gitignore files as we don't have any colorization there as well.
We could share the grammar of the two, if we're sure that the syntaxes are identical.

@aeschli Do you mean in vscode?
If we add that, would it make sense to define some kind of generic ignore-file language for gitignore, eslintignore, npmignore, and possibly others?

@Hirse A generic ignore-file language makes sense. We could still place it along with the git extension

That makes sense to me as well. That would mean for eslint we would then simply reference the genernal syntax.

@aeschli do you mean adding a definition in vscode extensions/git/languages or adding a new ignore extension which only contains this language definition?

@Hirse I'd suggest to add it to vscode/extensions/git

@aeschli do you recommend that we wait with this in ESLint and then reuse the one that goes into git?

@dbaeumer Sorry for the delay, I have changed the code to reference the existing ignore language as @aeschli did in microsoft/vscode@eb2b51a so this should be good to go now.

Thanks!.
