Save the configuration file below in your Geany filetype defintion files config directory, e.g. Whenever I see a feature or fix that is added that I really want, Ill just do another checkout and rebuild and reinstall. Kevin Pors contributed a changed filetypes.cpp to make the syntax highlighting colors look more like those of GVim and he changed the default set of keywords (primary keywords are builtin types, secondary are statements). Whenever anyone commits to the repository, I get an email which contains their commit message ( a message they enter stating the changes they made ) and the files which were affected by the change(s). Also, the geany project has a mailing list for the subversion repository.

#GEANY DOCUMENTATION CODE#

You can't commit to the geany repo (this is a configurable option to not let certain people commit - after all, very often you dont want to allow just anyone to make changes to your code in the repo), but you can checkout and change it 'til your heart's content on your own machine.

#GEANY DOCUMENTATION UPDATE#

Then you can retrieve those changes and have them merged into your copy by running svn update ( or svn up - same thing ). When I finish implementing some code ( a new feature, some new methods, or whatever.), I commit my changes to the repo(svn commit).

We each have our local copy that we work on on our own computers. For example, you and I are working on some code. A repo' allows developers to keep a synchronized copy of the code. You can look at things you did before, revert changes that you made to a previous version, and log all of your changes. Basically it stores all of the versions of the project that you are working on.

Repositories are great when developing, especially when development involves more than one person (but I use it on projects that I alone develop). What you did was check out a copy of the source code from the repository that the developers use to develop geany. The package is subversion - svn is short for subversion (typo). I think it is suitable for all users, especially if you're a fan of Notepad++ as it can also be used as a text editor.Yeah sorry about that. While primarily a text editor for programmers, Geany is still by all means a text editor. Geany is a GTK based application and supports Windows, Linux, macOS and many BSDs.

#GEANY DOCUMENTATION MAC OS X#

One feature which I liked was that it loaded the previous session (all tabs/files), which saves you some time. Geany is an open source Lua text editor for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. The Edit > Preferences section has more options for tweaking the interface. This menu also houses options to change the font, color, etc. Don't like the sidebar or the message bar, toolbar, menu bar or line numbers? You can disable these from the View menu for a very clean and distraction free experience, and maybe use it for some good old-fashioned text editing. There are a ton of themes (dark, light, colorful) for it that you can enable from the View settings. YoĪnother strong point of Geany is that it is highly customizable. The other plugin is Split Window which divides the editor pane into two which you may find useful to display two different codes side-by-side or compare different revisions of a single file. There are two GUI related plugins with File Browser probably being the more useful as it adds an option to browse files to the left sidebar. You can enable autosave, instant save, back up copy by using the Save Actions plugin. There is status tab which shows the activity log, a compiler tab which displays whether your code is fine, a messages tab, and a scribble tab for notes. The panels at the bottom of the screen are what I found interesting. You can manage your Projects from the Project toolbar and find all files of a project listed by the editor so that you may select them when the need arises. Speaking of which,Â the Document menu has various formatting tools from line breaking, wrapping, indentation, programming file type (language selection), encoding among other options. You can use the find in files option from the Search menu to search for text in documents. The edit menu lets you perform various functions including inserting comments, tags or dates. This obviously requires the platform you're coding in to be installed, for e.g. You can compile the code right from the application and click on the execute button to run it. Apart from the standard options, the toolbar has a revert button for reloading the current document. There is a menu bar at the top of the screen and a toolbar right below it. The large pane on the right side is the editor and it has line numbers like any programmer friendly editor this pane has a tab bar at the top, which you can use to switch from one document to another. The program's interface has two side-panels, one for symbols and one for Documents (tree-style).
