Is there an existing issue for this?

What is the missing lexer?

I would like support for Beef Github.
The language syntax itself is relativly similar to c# to the point where the current language highlighting for Github just uses the C# one which would also be fine here imo.

The main reason I want support is because the file ending overlaps with brainfuck and as such Beef files often end up with no syntax highlighting at all see:
https://code.booklordofthe.dev/Booklordofthedings/Bofa/src/branch/main/src/BofaParser.bf

I could probably implement support for Beef myself if necessary.

Its in the list and just using the default C# highlighting

add beef syntax and tests (#995)
a6994de 
This adds #994 Beeflang.
The syntax itself is just a modifed version of c# with a few keywords
added or removed.
Also Ive added a test and run the test until it worked.

I am unsure if the mime_type is relevant to keep in there since I dont
know where that actually used.
Another thing im unsure of is how the selection of what language/syntax
to use for a file actually works aka:
Does this actually choose Beef syntax highlighting over Brainfuck if its
used on a beef (.bf) file ?
for that I would probably need help.

Ive tested the individual match get and analyse functions.
Get works normally.
Match only matches Beef and never Brainfuck, but I doubt that there is anyone using brainfuck that would be actually impacted by this.
Analyse doesnt seem to match, but I havent really gotten that to match for many other languages either so its probably fine.

Overall my pr was probably enough to be able to close this now
