A bit of syntax highlighting and commenting ability for Dockerfiles in BBEdit.

Dockerfile Codeless Language Module for BBEdit

What does it do?

It provides a bit of syntax highlighting and commenting ability for (Dockerfiles) in BBEdit.

Why?

It's nicer to read.

Is it all your own work?

No, I can't remember if I made the original or I got it from somewhere (sorry and thanks if you do exist and I've forgotten who you are!) as I'm only now getting around to sharing it, and I took a few ideas from poblish's Dockerfile plist, so again, thanks.

To use

Pop the plist into "~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Language Modules/", either by dropping the file there or, if you'd like to stay up to day with changes git clone, e.g.

git clone https://github.com/yb66/BBEdit-Dockerfile "~/The place I keep git projects/BBEdit-Dockerfile"

Then create a link:

ln "~/The place I keep git projects/BBEdit-Dockerfile/Dockerfile.plist" "~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Language Modules/"

In both cases BBEdit will require a restart. Files called Dockerfile will automatically be recognised.
