cmd: nano

here is a neat way to implement syntax highlighting and line numbers in nano

first you need to install the latest nano, you can do this via brew $: brew install nano

then export the binary path $: nano ~/.bash_profile

then append this line export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

this line should give you access to the installed nano app

run this command to install the syntax highlighter $: curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scopatz/nanorc/master/install.sh | sh

once done, edit your .nanorc $: nano ~/.nanorc

then append this line to the bottom of the file set linenumbers

here are some other setting you might want to implement as well set tabsize 4
set tabstospaces
set autoindent
set smooth
set atblanks
set constantshow
set mouse
set softwrap
set showcursor
set trimblanks
set nonewlines
