@docdyhr I've updated the gist with your new list of includes
thank you so much, worked perfectly for me on mac OS
Why does every file need to be listed? The following works for me:
brew install nano
echo 'include "/usr/local/share/nano/*.nanorc"' >> ~/.nanorc
+1 on @hacker1024 comment. single include with *.nanorc works for me as well.
Thanks this worked! Is there any reason why the syntax highlighting only applies to nano, not sudo nano though?

In order to have it for sudo nano you have to edit the .nanorc for the root user
@lorthirk That makes sense. Thanks for the help!

This is nice! It works fine for me. Thank you!
Mac OSX Big Sur
nano version:5.8
brew install nano echo 'include "/opt/homebrew/Cellar/nano/5.8/share/nano/*.nanorc"'>> ~/.nanorc
Thanks @secfb (above), it worked beautifully on an M1 Mac running Monterery & zsh.
I ran:
brew install nano
# Restart terminal
nano -V
# Note the version number
echo 'include "/opt/homebrew/Cellar/nano/NANO_VERSION_NUMBER/share/nano/*.nanorc"'>> ~/.nanorc
# EG: echo 'include "/opt/homebrew/Cellar/nano/5.9/share/nano/*.nanorc"'>> ~/.nanorc
Brew creates symlink so you don't need set nano version number:
echo 'include "/usr/local/share/nano/*.nanorc"' >> ~/.nanorc
or for Apple Silicon: echo 'include "/opt/homebrew/Cellar/nano/*/share/nano/*.nanorc"' >> ~/.nanorc

Thanks @tagplus5, updated the gist for Apple Silicon
or for Apple Silicon: echo 'include "/opt/homebrew/Cellar/nano//share/nano/.nanorc"' >> ~/.nanorc
Thanks! It's weird that you have to encode the wildcard for the version and you don't get a nice symlink like /usr/local/share/nano/ on Intel Macs. Hopefully there's only one version there at a time!

This worked for me, brew install nano and then this command. Thanks! (on M1 MBP)
for me what worked is
echo "include /opt/homebrew/Cellar/nano/6.3/share/nano/*.nanorc" >> ~/.nanorc
brew install nano
echo include "$(brew --prefix nano)/share/nano/*.nanorc" >> ~/.nanorcor
brew install nano
brew install nanorc
echo include "$(brew --prefix nanorc)/share/nanorc/*.nanorc" >> ~/.nanorc
latest is:
echo "include /opt/homebrew/Cellar/nano/6.4/share/nano/*.nanorc" >> ~/.nanorc
For macOS Ventura:
brew install nano nanorc
echo "include /opt/homebrew/Cellar/nano/7.0/share/nano/*.nanorc" >> ~/.nanorc
Note you might want to take this opportunity to just start with a clean .nanorc if you've been upgrading nano and nanorc frequently.
mv ~/.nanorc ~/.nanorc.orig && echo "include /opt/homebrew/Cellar/nano/7.0/share/nano/*.nanorc" > ~/.nanorc
@x86txt: Replace the …/nano/7.0/share/… part with …/nano/*/share/… so you don't have to keep updating your .nanorc file every time nano updates to a newer version.
Worked for me:
brew install nano nanorc
echo 'include "/usr/local/Cellar/nano/*/share/nano/*.nanorc"' >> ~/.nanorc
Worked for me:
brew install nano nanorc
echo 'include "/opt/homebrew/share/nanorc/*.nanorc"' >> ~/.nanorcmacOS Ventura 13.2.1
Homebrew 4.0.13
Thanks, updated the gist @s-ota-66
Thanks all for the guide! Can confirm current version is working on 13.3.1
Better to use $(brew --prefix) to work with both Intel & ARM chips
brew install nano nanorc
echo 'include "'"$(brew --prefix)"'/share/nanorc/*.nanorc"'
echo 'include "/usr/local/Cellar/nano/*/share/nano/*.nanorc"' >> ~/.nanorc
Works for Sonora
echo 'include "/usr/local/Cellar/nano/*/share/nano/*.nanorc"' >> ~/.nanorc
Probably it would be better to use
echo 'include "'"$(brew --cellar nano)"'/*/share/nano/*.nanorc"' >> ~/.nanorc
so in such case it will use the right path depends on if mac uses Intel or Apple Silicon
as of today, may 13th 2024, the following works without issues on sonoma 14.4.1 with and brew 4.2.21:
brew install nano
echo 'include "'"$(brew --cellar nano)"'/*/share/nano/*.nanorc"' >> ~/.nanorc
thanks everyone for keeping this going :)
Updated the gist thanks @tobsn
