Choosing an Editor - northern-bites/nbites GitHub Wiki

There are a number of different editors that you can pick from. In the past, many of the Bites have used Emacs or Vim (and you'll find that depending on who you ask one is largely better than the other). In recent years, a number of Bites have started using Sublime because of its multiple cursor features. It doesn't matter what you use - but we do have a few general rules for coding, which some editors can help us enforce.

Essentially, you want to make sure that all lines of code are no longer than 80 characters, we use 4 spaces as a tab, and you leave no trailing spaces at the ends of your lines.

Here are some pages on configuring editors to match with the Northern Bites coding guidelines:

• Configuring Emacs
• Configuring Sublime
