atom

A cross-platform pluggable text editor.

Plugins are managed by `apm`.

• Open a file or directory:

atom {path/to/file_or_directory}

• Open a file or directory in a new window:

atom -n {path/to/file_or_directory}

• Open a file or directory in an existing window:

atom --add {path/to/file_or_directory}

• Open Atom in safe mode (does not load any additional packages):

atom --safe

• Prevent Atom from forking into the background, keeping Atom attached to the terminal:

atom --foreground

• Wait for Atom window to close before returning (useful for Git commit editor):

atom --wait
