A tree-sitter grammar for Dottr manifests (*.dotfile), with queries for:

• highlighting, including the scripts of shell blocks, highlighted as bash, zsh, or PowerShell;
• folds and indentation;
• text objects for units, blocks, conditionals, and variables.

Diagnostics, navigation, completion, and formatting come from the Dottr language server, dottr-lsp.

Neovim

With gardener.nvim and lazy.nvim, gardener detects *.dotfile files, installs the parser when a manifest is first opened, and starts highlighting, folds, and indentation:

{
  "tkamucheka/gardener.nvim",
  dependencies = { "nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter" },
  lazy = false,
  opts = {
    ensure_installed = { "bash", "zsh", "powershell" },
    custom_parsers = {
      dottr = {
        install_info = {
          url = "https://github.com/tkamucheka/tree-sitter-dottr",
          queries = "queries",
        },
        filetypes = { "dottr" },
        extensions = { "dotfile" },
      },
    },
    manage_folds = true,
    manage_indent = true,
  },
}

The bash, zsh, and powershell parsers highlight the scripts of shell blocks. Setup without gardener, the language server, and the text objects are described in the README.
