That's great news! I just merged main into the feature branch; it'll be great to see if GitHub can get around to giving this a look when they have the time. :) |

FYI gitlab already patch their vendoring version but also add an alias |

Usage it reviewed whenever a new release is made. I do not comment to say usage hasn't met as this would lead to a lot of unnecessary noise so no news means usage hasn't been met. I'll review again when I make the next release. |

Thanks! Usage means this popularity assessment? Which criteria weren't yet met?
I see 2.2k files in the search result now. Was that not true in September? Just trying to understand the typical cadence, as this seems to be a similar number of search results as for |
Furthermore, this mode of operation is not as relevant for this extension. Indeed, it is still possible to write most files in .hcl format, and GitHub's lack of support for .tofu does not encourage its adoption on github only project. |

Hey, that will be really helpful. Waiting for that too in our company (and I know others too). |

Adds .tofu extension to HCL, as used by OpenTofu.
Description
OpenTofu supports .tf as used by Terraform, but uses .tofu to allow OpenTofu-specific behaviour to be ignored by Terraform. The project has also reserved any new OpenTofu syntax for compatibility reasons to .tofu files alone. New language-changing syntax that would require adjustments to syntax highlighting has not been introduced, so therefore I believe it is safe to simply add .tofu as an extension for HCL.
Adoption of .tofu seems to have been more rapid amongst end-users, who likely have private repositories. While there are still several hundred results on GitHub, most lengthy, good examples of HCL in use with the .tofu extension were likely going to be behind this wall. Therefore, I wrote a length-enough example that resembles code I have in production at my employer and with other projects. I am happy to have it licensed under Linguist's MIT licence.
