How to enable atom.io to read STDIN?

问题

Is there an easy way to pipe content to the editor atom?

For example:

echo "Content." | atom

Unfortunately atom does not get the content. The current version of gedit has the parameter - to enable reading of STDIN:

echo "Content." | gedit -

I could not find a similar option in the atom-help (atom -h)

Thank you for asking about this! I just now bumped into the same issue.

The current atom command-line interface (CLI) will not open content piped to its standard input (stdin).

There's a Pull Request open to add this functionality. The proposed solution writes contents from stdin to a file in /tmp, then opens that file in Atom.

For now, if you're open to hacking the atom CLI, you could manually apply the changes proposed there.
