Bazel-Syntax

Syntax highlighting for Bazel BUILD files, Starlark (.bzl), and bazelrc files.

This is a fork of vscode-bazel that preserves only the syntax highlighting functionality. All other features (build commands, tree view, debugger, code lens, tasks, etc.) have been removed.

Features

  • Syntax highlighting for:
    • BUILD, BUILD.bazel files
    • WORKSPACE, WORKSPACE.bazel files
    • .bzl, .bzlmod, .sky, .star (Starlark) files
    • .bazelrc, bazel.rc files
  • Bracket matching and auto-closing
  • Comment toggling

Why this fork?

If you only need syntax highlighting and prefer a lightweight extension without the overhead of Bazel integration features, this fork is for you.

For the full-featured extension with build commands, target tree view, Starlark debugging, and more, use the original vscode-bazel.
