|  | ### Adding or changing file type associations | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | You can add new (or change existing) file name patterns using the `--map-syntax` | ||||||
|  | command line option. The option takes an argument of the form `pattern:syntax` where | ||||||
|  | `pattern` is a glob pattern that is matched against the file name and | ||||||
|  | the absolute file path. The `syntax` part is the full name of a supported language | ||||||

|  |  | ||||||
|  | Note: You probably want to use this option as an entry in `bat`s configuration file instead | ||||||
|  | of passing it on the command line (see below). | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | Example: To use "INI" syntax highlighting for all files with a `.conf` file extension, use | ||||||
|  | ```bash | ||||||
|  | --map-syntax='*.conf:INI' | ||||||
|  | ``` | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | Example: To open all files called `.ignore` (exact match) with the "Git Ignore" syntax, use: | ||||||
|  | ```bash | ||||||
|  | --map-syntax='.ignore:Git Ignore' | ||||||
|  | ``` | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | Example: To open all `.conf` files in subfolders of `/etc/apache2` with the "Apache Conf" | ||||||
|  | syntax, use (this mapping is already built in): | ||||||
|  | ```bash | ||||||
|  | -map-syntax='/etc/apache2/**/*.conf:Apache Conf' | ||||||

| ### Adapting file type associations |  | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
| You can add new (or change existing) file name patterns using the |  | ||||||
| `--map-syntax` option. The option takes an argument of the form `pattern:syntax`. |  | ||||||
| `pattern` is a glob pattern that is matched against the file name and |  | ||||||
| the absolute file path. `syntax` is the *name* of a supported language |  | ||||||
| (use `bat --list-languages` for an overview). |  | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
| This option is most useful in combination with the `bat` configuration file (see below). |  | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
| Example: To use "INI" syntax highlighting for all files with a `.conf` file extension, use |  | ||||||
| ```bash |  | ||||||
| --map-syntax='*.conf:INI' |  | ||||||
