How to get the following for your gedit:

Up-to-date Ruby syntax highlighting

Proper highlighting for .js.erb or .yml.erb files

or files Gemfile.lock highlighting

I’ve put some days into improving the gedit Ruby syntax file and a suitable style. It’s far from perfect (I think vim’s is still better), but you can definitely feel the difference :)

Setup

You can either try the experimental installer:

gem install rubybuntu-gedit rubybuntu-gedit install

Or install each component manually (it’s not hard ;) )
