# News
- 15-06-2019
- A new architecture for defining the highlighting for **specific commands**: it now uses **abstract definitions**
instead of **top-down, regular code**. The first effect is the highlighting for the `git` command it is now
**maximally faithful**, it follows the `git` command almost completely. [Screencast](https://asciinema.org/a/253411)
# Installation
### Manual
Clone the Repository.
```zsh
git clone https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlighting ~/path/to/fsh
