Development Tools

Development tools play an important role in the ggKbase development process and collaboration. Here are some of the tools that we are using, where you can get them, and how we are setting them up.

Editors:

  • Vim – Usually comes with Linux and Mac
    • Need some more information about what to set up here.
  • Atom – https://atom.io/
    • Must have packages: Vim Mode, Ex Mode, Atom Fuzzy Grep, Open Recent, Git Plus
    • Helpful packages: Mini Map, Color Picker, Language HAML, Script
    • Pair programming packages: Atom Pair

Terminal controller:

  • tmux – https://tmux.github.io/
    • tmux plugin manager
    • Copy the code below into the ~/.tmux.conf at your home directory.
    • Start tmux and press prefix + I to install the plugins
  • wemux – https://github.com/zolrath/wemux
    • Enable pair programming

Version control:

  • github repo: https://github.com/bcthomas/ggkbase
    • Production is on the master branch
    • Development is on the dev branch
    • There are other development branches, which are more temporary
    • Older stable versions are tagged

Communication tool:
