Quick question, which maybe someone here can answer: I noticed that GitHub supports syntax highlighting in the Zig repo. How does that work for a new language such as Zig? Can you somehow upload a file which tells GitHub how you'd like programs written in your language to be displayed?

I believe this is the syntax highlighter’s repo: https://github.com/github/linguist/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING....

Thanks, this is what I was wondering! Seems a new language needs to have 200 repos which use it before GitHub will consider adding syntax highlighting for it..
