Description

Atom is a modern text editor tailored for the 21st century, developed on the Electron framework, and inspired by the features that we cherish in our preferred editing tools. It has been crafted to offer extensive customization options while remaining user-friendly with its default settings. As a vital component of a developer's toolkit, a text editor often collaborates with other tools rather than functioning in isolation. With the integrated GitHub package, you can seamlessly manage your Git and GitHub workflows directly in Atom—creating branches, staging and committing changes, pushing and pulling updates, resolving merge conflicts, and reviewing pull requests, all from within the editor. This package comes pre-installed with Atom, meaning you can start right away! Atom is compatible with various operating systems, including OS X, Windows, and Linux, ensuring a wide accessibility. You can easily search for and install new packages or even develop your own straight from the editor. Additionally, Atom enhances your coding efficiency with its intelligent and adaptable autocomplete feature, and it allows you to conveniently browse and open individual files, entire projects, or multiple projects simultaneously within a single window, making it a versatile choice for developers. Overall, Atom is designed to make coding smoother and more efficient, catering to both novice and experienced developers alike.

Description

The source code for Microsoft's Visual Studio Code (VSCode) is available as open source under the MIT license, yet the downloadable version of the product is subject to a different license that is not considered free and open-source software (FLOSS) and includes telemetry features. To provide an alternative, the VSCodium project was created, allowing users to avoid the hassle of downloading and building from the source code by offering pre-built binaries. This project utilizes specialized build scripts that fetch Microsoft's VSCode repository, execute the necessary build commands, and subsequently upload the finished binaries to GitHub releases, all of which are licensed under the MIT license and have telemetry features disabled. For users on Mac OS X Mojave, if you encounter the message “App can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software” when you first try to open VSCodium, you can simply right-click the application and select Open, which should only be necessary the first time you launch it on that operating system. Additionally, comprehensive documentation is available for anyone looking to transition from Visual Studio Code, as well as for addressing various issues that may arise during use of VSCodium. This ensures users have access to all the guidance they need for a smooth experience.
