TextMate Bundles in PhpStorm

Projects may contain file types unknown to PhpStorm. While PhpStorm comes with built-in support for many programming and scripting languages, you may want to have syntax highlighting for project-specific languages. For example, a project may contain a shell script, or Perl. When doing infrastructure automation for your project using Puppet, a configuration file may exist in a project. TextMate, a text editor for Mac, offers syntax highlighting bundles for many languages. The good news is we can import them and use them in PhpStorm!

This functionality is available in IntelliJ Idea, PyCharm, WebStorm, PhpStorm, RubyMine, and AppCode.

Once a TextMate bundle is added, PhpStorm will provide syntax highlighting for the file types registered with the bundle. Here’s an example of a shell script opened in PhpStorm after installing the ShellScript TextMate bundle:
