Atom Description
Atom is a hackable text editor built on Electron and inspired by our favorite editors. It is customizable but still easy to use the default configuration. Although a text editor is the heart of a developer’s toolbox, it doesn’t always work by itself. With the GitHub package, you can access Git and GitHub from Atom. You can create new branches, stage and commit, push, pull, resolve merge conflicts and view pull requests all from your editor. Atom already includes the GitHub package, so you are ready to go. Atom is compatible with all operating systems. It can be used on OS X, Windows or Linux. You can search for and install new packages, or create your own right within Atom. Atom makes it easier to write code faster thanks to its intelligent and flexible autocomplete. Browse and open files, whole projects, or multiple projects from one window.
