How to Code Atom with VSCode

It’s been some time I haven’t coded with Atom since I was a regular user, now that everyone is coding with VSCode how about Atom

This is a Work in Progress to let everyone keep haveing a choice of free Editors

Maybe you are not at ease with the Atom flight manual for this step https://flight-manual.atom.io/hacking-atom/sections/hacking-on-atom-core/#platform-windows

So to start coding I have installed VSCode, then GitHub Desktop

After that, I have just cloned the Atom repo

Which takes a little while, then we have it in the Explorer

After that I launch the PowerShell and type

PS D:\GitHub\atom\atom> code .

After that run

PS D:\GitHub\atom\atom> node .\script\bootstrap

You may encounter this error

I’ve opened an issue and got an answer

The installation should look something like this

After that you just need to build Atom

PS D:\GitHub\atom\atom> node .\script\build

(at a Generating Pre-Built I typed enter it was stuck)

At this moment you will have a folder called output

Go to Atom Dev x64

Launch atom-dev.exe

Voilà
