Converting a TextMate Bundle
This guide will show you how to convert a TextMate bundle to an Atom package.
Converting a TextMate bundle will allow you to use its editor preferences, snippets, and colorization inside Atom.
Install apm
The apm command line utility that ships with Atom supports converting
a TextMate bundle to an Atom package.
Check that you have apm installed by running the following command in your
terminal:
apm help init
You should see a message print out with details about the apm init command.
If you do not, launch Atom and run the Atom > Install Shell Commands menu
to install the apm and atom commands.
Convert the Package
Let's convert the TextMate bundle for the R programming language. You can find other existing TextMate bundles here.
You can convert the R bundle with the following command:
apm init --package ~/.atom/packages/language-r --convert https://github.com/textmate/r.tmbundle
You can now browse to ~/.atom/packages/language-r to see the converted bundle.
🎉 Your new package is now ready to use, launch Atom and open a .r file in
the editor to see it in action!
