How do I add the go language to gitg's list of viewable sources?
- by Hotei
Hoping a 'git' guru will help out here.
I am just beginning to "git" for the first time and have (among other
things :-) ) git and gitg installed from Ubuntu 10.4 / AMD64
distribution (ie. maybe not 'latest' version but not ancient). I am
trying to look at the go code I've committed via gitg and in the "tree
tab" it says :Cannot display file content as text. However, the
"details tab" shows the diffs of the same file just fine. I know
gitg's "tree tab" is working because I can use the tree view on *.c /
*.html / *.txt etc just fine.
Is there a way to tweak gitg into understanding that "*.go"
is just text?
A little more context:
Installed gitg version is 0.0.5 - ie a version behind latest - 0.0.6 -
source of which I am looking thru now.
I do have a working /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/
go.lang. It works just fine as highlighter in gedit.
It appears that gitg may require displayable files to have a mime type
of "text/plain", so I added that to go.lang
No joy. gitg still fails on *.go
I'm relatively sure the fix is simple, just don't know where to
look.
