Syntax highlighting for git commit messages, config files, etc. is
included with the vim distribution as of vim 7.2, and should work
automatically.
If you have an older version of vim, you can get the latest syntax
files from the vim project:
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/git.vim
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/gitcommit.vim
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/gitconfig.vim
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/gitrebase.vim
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/gitsendemail.vim
These files are also available via FTP at the same location.
To install:
1. Copy these files to vim's syntax directory $HOME/.vim/syntax
2. To auto-detect the editing of various git-related filetypes:
$ cat >>$HOME/.vim/filetype.vim <<'EOF'
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG setf gitcommit
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.git/config,.gitconfig setf gitconfig
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead git-rebase-todo setf gitrebase
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead .msg.[0-9]*
\ if getline(1) =~ '^From.*# This line is ignored.$' |
\ setf gitsendemail |
\ endif
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.git/**
\ if getline(1) =~ '^\x\{40\}\>\|^ref: ' |
\ setf git |
\ endif
EOF
