tree-sitter ssh client config

[midnightexigent]

I am looking into adding the tree-sitter-ssh-client-config but am having trouble, specifically making helix detect the file (it's the .ssh/config file), I have no idea what to put in file-types and root

[[language]]
name = "ssh-client-config"
scope = "source.ssh-client-config"
file-types = [] # I tried .ssh/config with no success
roots = []
[[grammar]]
name = "ssh-client-config"
source = { git = "https://github.com/metio/tree-sitter-ssh-client-config.git", rev = "769d7a01a2e5493b4bb5a51096c6bf4be130b024" }

This may need a bit of work in the function that chooses a language configuration for a given file type, here:

helix/helix-core/src/syntax.rs

Lines 475 to 491 in ae19aaf

	pub fn language_config_for_file_name(&self, path: &Path) -> Option<Arc<LanguageConfiguration>> {
	// Find all the language configurations that match this file name
	// or a suffix of the file name.
	let configuration_id = path
	.file_name()
	.and_then(|n| n.to_str())
	.and_then(|file_name| self.language_config_ids_by_file_type.get(file_name))
	.or_else(|| {
	path.extension()
	.and_then(|extension| extension.to_str())
	.and_then(|extension| self.language_config_ids_by_file_type.get(extension))
	});
	configuration_id.and_then(|&id| self.language_configs.get(id).cloned())
	// TODO: content_regex handling conflict resolution
	}

This would be useful as well for git config where you can highlight .git/config as git-config.

You could set file-types = [ "config" ] as a temporary workaround but that would highlight all files called config or with an extension name of .config as ssh-config.

hmm, are you aware of any previous discussions on how this part of the config is resolved ? I can't think of a clean way to do this..

A "meh" solution would be to shellexpand the strings passed to file-types so that a user can provide something like

name = "ssh-client-config"
file-types = ["~/.ssh/config"] 

name = "git-config"
file-types = ["~/.gitconfig", "${workspace}/.git/config"]

With that, we can add an or_else in the function language_config_for_file_name that matches files by exact path

There was a bit of discussion here #1426

I think the shell expand might be a good increment. What do others think?

AFAIK there's now tree-sitter support for ssh-client-config:
