Pygments lexers for Git output and files.
Get better at command line Git with my book Boost Your Git DX.
Installation
Use pip:
python -m pip install pygments-git
Python 3.9 to 3.14 supported.
Usage
With the package installed, Pygments will autodiscover the below lexers.
When using Pygments directly, you can refer to them by name. Within Sphinx/docutils, you can refer to them in code-block directives:
.. code-block:: git-console
$ git log --oneline
82fbbd3 D'oh! Fix math proof
91e9879 Aye carumba! Grammar mistake
61c4c08 Cowabunga! Update bibliography
To preview the lexers, open the tests/index.html file within the repository.
git-attributes
A lexer for .gitattributes files.
git-blame-ignore-revs
A lexer for the file format used by blame.ignoreRevsFile. The de facto name for a repository-wide ignore file is .git-blame-ignore-revs, as recognized by GitHub and potentially other Git hosting services.
git-commit-edit-msg
A lexer for the COMMIT_EDITMSG file that Git opens when you run git commit. It calls out to DiffLexer for highlighting any diff, as added by git commit --verbose.
git-conflict-markers
A lexer for the conflict markers that Git adds to indicate conflicts during a merge. All other text in the file is lexed as plain text.
git-console
A lexer for interactive shell sessions with Git. It calls out to BashLexer for highlighting commands on lines starting with a $ and DiffLexer for highlighting inline diffs.
git-ignore
A lexer for .gitignore files.
git-rebase-todo
A lexer for the git-rebase-todo file that Git opens when you run git rebase --interactive. It calls out to BashLexer for highlighting commands on lines starting with x or exerc a $ and DiffLexer for highlighting inline diffs.
