The new Fast-Syntax-Highlighting Git chroma-function does exact highlighting, e.g. it changes the expected command syntax on the fly, depending on the options that are given. Plus as a bonus a demonstration of automatic theme switching by the Patreon-only theme switching plugin psprint/fsh-auto-themes – the theme changes after issuing the cd command, i.e. after joining home directory, where a file .fsh-theme defines a new theme that’s automatically loaded by the fsh-auto-themes plugin.
