vim can't recognize Podfile and podspec file as Ruby file

Question

How to make vim recognize Podfile and podspec file (some file without extension) as ruby file, so that vim can make syntax highlight.

Answer 1

Add this to your .vimrc:

autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead Podfile,*.podspec set filetype=ruby

This line instructs Vim to treat Podfiles and files with a .podspec extension as Ruby files so they inherit the Ruby syntax highlighting.
