I am using msysgit on windows vista. I am still very new to it and on my first committed code to github another member said that all the tabs were replaced with spaces. Could it be possible that msysgit is changing this? I am editing the files in VS2008. Is is just come c sharp .cs files.
It's unlikely that msysgit replaced the tabs with spaces, that was more likely your editor settings.
You should configure your editor in such a way that you follow the established conventions of the project you're working with.
However, unless the file in question was a Makefile, my opinion is your editor settings are correct. :)

I am trying to open VS Code from my web app through URL handling. I found the PR URL handling has been implemented and merged on GitHub. What I am trying to do is to open a file in its workspace. I found that with the current implementation it is not possible to do that since only the file and the lines parsed from the URL with this format vscode://file/%%f:%%l.
In the PR it's been said that the opening behavior is the same as running code -g -r /path/to/file on local machine. But running this script opens the file in its workspace if the workspace is already opened on VS Code. Doesn't matter if it is focused or not, if that workspace somehow opened, VS Code opens the file in its original workspace.
I believe VS Code folks are doing great job! Am I missing something here or local script and URL handling just behaves differently than I experienced.
BTW I tried almost all versions of VS Code after September 2017.
VSCode 1.43 (Q1 2020) might improve those protocol links by adding the possibility to open folders and workspace.
For a while, VSCode supported to open files through protocol links (e.g. vscode://file/<file-path>).
In this milestone, we expanded the support to include opening folders or workspaces.
The syntax is the same:
vscode://file/<path>
vscode-insiders://file/<path>
I have Eclipse SDK Version: 3.5.2 with EPIC 0.5.46 installed on Ubuntu Linux. I was writing some Perl code which I could run/debug correctly. The syntax was always highlighted. recently I had to add one *.pl file to my project and debug it. However, for some reason, the code is not being highlighted. What might be the reason for this behavior? My guess was that maybe there is some issue with Eclipse/EPIC adding/importing new files to the existing project but I'm not sure. Please consider even basic mistakes with Eclipse/EPIC configuration and projects management since I'm new to it. Thanks!
It seems that I found the problem which was preventing my Perl code from being highlighted. I've noticed that in the first lines of my .pl file, there is a commented line which include a weird ? symbol as appears on the screenshot below:
The moment I removed this symbol, all the code became highlighted! So it seems that there was some issue with text encoding which prevented Eclipse ho highlight the coded correctly.
You should right-click the file and then open with "epic perl editor", then everything will be fine!
OK< I know I can use Eclipse for Java programming and such but I work using WAMP for editing PHP, XHTML, JavaScript files... what IDE is best to edit the files and use GitHub? Because I don't know want to go to localhost and then copy my files to my local GitHub repo...
Cloud9 IDE might be what you are looking for! It's an online IDE with out-of-the-box intergration with GitHub, heroku etc. and gives you the ability to share workspaces as well.
Eclipse has the egit plugin that is really nice. You can use aptana which is based around eclipse but includes all the web views. It can basically edit everything you mentioned and really well, while providing a nice wrapper for your git repos
http://aptana.org/products/studio3
http://eclipse.org/egit/
well is not an IDE but vim with some git plugins is the best for me.
Eclipse should have some git plugins also, I think.
The best way to learn git is yo use it from command line!
Emacs + tramp + the command line ?
Update: magit is reported to support tramp
Update:
My experience: I have a distant linux server running a rails app. and private git repositories / apache (using several VirtualHosts with or without ssl). That server runs a ssh server. I use bare ssh session for command line usage (git, nominal admin.) and emacs + tramp to remotely edit the files presents on that server. I you are not rebuked by anti-eye candies tools (as for not-at-all drag'n'drop stuff), I would suggest you to give emacs a try (see EmacsW32 and nXhtml if you are under Windows). I assume you can install a ssh server on your WAMP machine… If this is the case, you could open your file from emacs just by using the following syntax (assuming you would edit the /home/renaud/.bashrc on the distant server):
/ssh:user#obf.uscatedmachine.org:/home/user/.bashrc
With putty on windows: see that and this posts.
It works the same for directories. You shall be prompted for your password once, and then edit the file/directory as if it is just on your machine. For the git part, I have verified myself since I do the git stuff directly from a ssh terminal, but latest magit
is reported to support tramp (i.e. remote git plumbering from my understanding).
If you have never used emacs before, it will not be easy. You will have to learn emacs basics first and customize it to fit you needs. My opinion is that's worth to give it a try. I could help you with basic configuration if needed.
(I use myself emacs almost for everything on my linux box from simple text editing to Java programming.)
Update:
After some testing, magit works very well remotely (tested on linux)! A new mode added to my configuration thanks to your question!
Netbeans has this wiki entry on line endings: http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqEditorEOLs
But it isn't very useful. It just says that you shouldn't develop on different OS and that's that...
In my situation however, I have no power over it. I'm on a windows machine and the PHP app I'm working on needs to end with the UNIX EOL.
There does not seem to be an option to set this for new files. Can anyone tell me where to set this?
Just saw that you can set this as a command-line startup flag: -J-Dline.separator=LF
I haven't tested this myself but I'm looking for ways to bake this into the configs somehow.
Since, a specific plug-in came out: http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/faces/PluginDetailPage.jsp?pluginid=36810
I also like #JimLewis suggestion but I work on Windows with a linux virtual machine thus in some cases the versioning system line ending cannot help.
[update 201709]
I no longer use netbeans (sorry, but I need python support and it's too buggy) and almost no longer develop on windows, but #marinos-an in a comment suggests https://github.com/welovecoding/editorconfig-netbeans which uses a common setting file that can be picked up by multiple editors through plugins. Definitely interesting to try since the settings file is committable!
Have you considered managing the line endings at the version control level? Subversion,
for example, lets you set an "eol-style" attribute with values "LF", "CR", "CRLF",
and "native" (which translates the line endings stored in the repository to whatever
is appropriate for the platform where the files are being checked out, and converts
the other way when you check in.)
Please use following Netbeans Plugin
http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/36810/show-and-change-line-endings
fentie's answer solved my problem with line endings, as pasting multi-line MySQL from NetBeans into the MySQL command prompt caused errors.
To pass this argument to NetBeans every time it opens, add it to the netbeans.conf file:
/Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans\ 7.1.2.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/etc/netbeans.conf on OS X.
From the NetBeans Mac page under Tips & Tricks.
When I pasted multi-line SQL statements from NetBeans to the MySQL command line client on OS X or a remote Linux server, MySQL would list all possible command choices, give me some strange '> type of prompt and I was forced to hit Ctrl+C and log back into MySQL again.
For my Netbeans 12.6
I found a pluging called "Change Line Endings on Save"
https://plugins.netbeans.apache.org/catalogue/?id=31
more details are there
https://github.com/junichi11/netbeans-change-lf
once pluging installed you can configure EOL in there:
Tools > Options > Editor > Line Endings
I was an Eclipse user, now I have to use Vim in my machine.
I used to "compare" a file I edited with a CVS repository to do merges an commit the files, using a context menu and my mouse.
Is this possible in Vim? Opening a vimdiff for a file before commiting, and commit it from vim itself?
And how is that supposed to work?
I'm supposing I would be editing a file. Then, I want to see the modifications. I run vimdiff in gvim, and a new window (or buffer) is opened. I run the modifications, save what is applicable (using vimdiff commands), and commit running another command.
Is this all transparent in vim? Do I have to keep getting out of vim to my terminal, or can all be done inside it?
Do I need to use some plugins, or just really simple functions inside my vimrc?
There is a couple plugins to integrate VCS to vim.
I personnally use vcscommand. It does at least the 2 things you're asking for: comparing from repository using vimdiff and commiting from within vim.
I personally just switch between vim and the terminal.
Usually I'd have several console tabs open at the same time (if you're on windows, Console can do that).
It depends on the VCS used, but you can linked that VCS with vimdiff (see git, for instance)
You could also try and integrate directly Vim into your Eclipse session with eclim.
(should you still be using eclipse. If not, I leave the following for others)
It does support the Eclipse local History.
