Is it possible to copy Atom from one Mac to another, including all installed packages, settings etc? There are several ways to synchronize your settings and packages between Atom installations: Git: Create a public or private Git repo and store the contents of your local ~/.atom folder in there. Ignore the following files/directories in a .gitignore file: storage compile-cache dev .npm .node-gyp Use a package like sync-settings . This will store your configuration in a GitHub Gist. Dropbox (or similar): Move your ~/.atom folder to your Dropbox folder and then symlink it from there to its

What underlying technologies/libraries is Microsoft's new (free) cross platform editor Visual Studio Code (Launched 5/29/2015) built on? There are rumors that it's just Github's Atom Editor rebranded. Visual Studio Code is built using web technologies on top of Github's Electron . Electron is an app runtime for writing native apps that uses Chromium (which Google Chrome is built on) for rendering the interface and node.js for local APIs (example: file system access) , it was built primarily as the shell for Github's Atom code editor. (Note: Electron is very similar to NW.js ) . Node.js is a

I have the Atom editor and was wondering how you can open a file or folder from the terminal in Atom. I am using a Mac. I am looking for a way to do this: atom . (opens folder) atom file.js (opens file) atom (opens editor) Is this possible and how do I set it up? When Atom installs it automatically creates a symlink in your /usr/local/bin. However in case it hasn't, you can create it yourself on your Mac ln -s /Applications/Atom.app/Contents/Resources/app/atom.sh /usr/local/bin/atom Now you can use atom folder_name to open a folder and atom file_name to open a file. Hope this helps. shaheenery

I'm trying to switch from Notepad++ to Atom, but I just can't manage to get my scripts executed in Atom. I followed this answer (so I already installed script ) which is not really extensive and also the rest on the web doesn't offer anything comprehensible for beginners. In Notepad++ NPPexec I used to NPP_SAVE cd "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" C:\Python34\python.exe -u "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" and in Sublime Text 2 I made it run by creating a new "Build System": { "cmd": ["C:\\python34\\python.exe", "-u", "$file"], "file_regex": "^[ ]*File \"(...*?)\", line ([0-9]*)", "selector": "source.python" } Can

I am using Electron to make a desktop app. In my app I am loading a an external site (outside Atom app) lets say http://mydummysite/index.html page. Here is the structure of my app in Atom Editor : i.e it is having following parts: main.js package.json nodemodules>jquery (to load jquery) Source code: main.js: 'use strict'; var app = require('app'); app.on('ready', function() { var BrowserWindow = require('browser-window'); var win = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 600, show: false, 'node-integration':true }); win.on('closed', function() { win = null; }); win.loadUrl('http://mydummysite

In my terminal, I type $ which python3 , outputting /opt/local/bin/python3 I would like to configure Atom to run Python3 scripts. In my Atom Config, I have runner: python: "/opt/local/bin/python3" However, if I run the following script in some script named filename.py , import sys print(sys.version) I get the following output: 2.7.11 (default, Feb 18 2016, 22:00:44) [GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 7.0.2 (clang-700.1.81)] How exactly does one set up the PATH for Python3.x scripts to run correctly? Is there a different package I could use? If you are using Mac OS X, use the directory on the
