Emacs major modes for various Git configuration files.
The list of contributors can be found here.
The following libraries are part of the git-modes package, which
is available from NonGNU ELPA as well as from Melpa.
Auto-/loading the library gitattributes-mode enabled the mode for
.gitattributes, .git/info/attributes, and git/attributes files.
Auto-/loading the library gitconfig-mode enables the mode for
.gitconfig, .git/config, git/config, and .gitmodules files.
gitconfig-mode derives from conf-unix-mode.
Auto-/loading the library gitignore-mode enables the mode for
.gitignore, .git/info/exclude, and git/ignore files.
gitignore-mode derives from conf-unix-mode.
This mode may be of use in other files that don’t have anything to do with Git, for example:
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist
(cons "/.dockerignore\\'" 'gitignore-mode))
