Auto syntax detector for bashrc, bash_profile, ... file formats

[imahmadrezas]

Well...
bat can automatically highlight .bashrc and .bash_profile, etc; but it doesn't include files like xyz.bashrc or something.bash_profile.

In archlinux files /etc/bash.bash_bashrc and /etc/bash.bash_bash_logout are not automatically hightlighted. Of course the issue can be solved by adding -l <syntax> but that's such a pain.

Thanks for reporting. I can confirm that I see the same behavior. I consider this to be a bug because I would expect it to work. I have a feeling that it is due to the unnecessary dots here: https://github.com/sublimehq/Packages/blob/759d6eed9b4beed87e602a23303a121c3a6c2fb3/ShellScript/Bash.sublime-syntax#L17-L25

As we can't really update this sublime-syntax at the moment (see trishume/syntect#323 and trishume/syntect#271 - and if we did we would likely run into #2227), it may be easier to add mappings to https://github.com/sharkdp/bat/blob/master/src/syntax_mapping/builtins/unix-family/50-shell.toml

In the meantime, you can map it in your configuration file so that you don't need to specify -l on every invocation: https://github.com/sharkdp/bat?tab=readme-ov-file#adding-or-changing-file-type-associations
