How can I configure GitHub's Atom to make it automatically set a particular syntax highlighting to filenames based on name and/or extensions?
Specifically I want it to automatically set Ruby syntax highlightning to Cocoapods' Podfiles.

As of Atom 1.0.8 this is now possible without the file-types package, using a core feature. To achieve this, open the config.cson file, and add a section like the following:
"*":
# Other config
core:
customFileTypes:
"source.ruby": [
"Podfile"
]
There is guidance on finding the language scope name here: https://flight-manual.atom.io/using-atom/sections/basic-customization/#finding-a-languages-scope-name
This is now possible with the file-types third-party package. I used the following syntax:
"*":
# Other config
"file-types":
"^Podfile$": "source.ruby"
This should be placed in the config.cson file.
Here's an excerpt from the readme:
file-types package
Specify additional file types for languages.
Extension Matchers
Drop the dot before the extension to use extension matchers.
For example, you can associate .ex_em_el with text.xml in your config.cson
as follows:
'file-types':
'ex_em_el': 'text.xml'
RegExp Matchers
You can match with regular expressions, too. Most JavaScript regular
expressions should work; but, the system looks for a dot (.), a caret (^) at
the start, or a dollar ($) to identify RegExp matchers.
For example, you can associate /.*_steps\.rb$/ with source.cucumber.steps in
your config.cson as follows:
'file-types':
'_steps\\.rb$': 'source.cucumber.steps'
NOTE: Extension Matchers take priority over RegExp Matchers.

As of this writing, there is no way to do this short of submitting a PR to the language-ruby package or creating your own fork of the language-ruby package.
There is a bug tracking this issue here: https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/1718

Anyone arriving here looking to add support for template files in php e.g. .tpl, the folloing works in atom 1.10.2. I do not have previous versions so I can't say about earlier versions.
Add this in your config (config.cson) after core:. I added it after audioBeep: false line.
customFileTypes:
"text.html.php": [
"tpl"
]
Documentation made me go around in circles. Several articles wrongly mention source.php where as it should be text.html.php
Just getting started with atom coming from npp++ basically as I have struggled with snippet support there and hope atom can do a good job.

To add to Maurice Kelly's answer (my reputation is too low to comment) This is now documented at:
