GaL

Syntax highlighting for GaL (.gal) files, and a command that runs Galimatron on the open gal.cfg.

Coloring

A .gal file is colored as GaL: comments, strings, raw strings, keywords, numbers, names, and punctuation.

Run Galimatron

Open gal.cfg, then run Galimatron: execute from the Command Palette.

The command needs log.cfg in the same directory as gal.cfg. It runs the galimatron executable with --gal-config-file and --log-config-file. The working directory is that folder.

When the extension starts, it looks for an installed executable and stores the path in Galimatron: Executable (galimatron.executable). On Windows that file is galimatron.exe, on PATH or in Program Files\Galimatron\bin. On Linux it is galimatron, on PATH, in /usr/bin, or in /usr/local/bin. A path that already points at a file is left as it is.

If nothing is found, the extension asks Galimatron not found. Would you like to install it? Restart Visual Studio Code afterward so the executable can be found. Yes opens the Galimatron project on GitHub. The question is asked once. The search runs again on the next start. If the path is still empty when you run the command, it asks you to pick the executable and stores that path.
