Developer Tools

PageLines Dev Kit

Download the PageLines Developer Kit to get started.

Code Management

There are several tools that will help you interact with Pagelines. You will first need to use a Git Client to connect to your repository with Pagelines and to upload your application for review. This information will be provided in your Pagelines Developer Program packet. For documentation on how Git works and for some detailed tutorials please visit the Git site.

GitHub (OSX)

With GitHub you can use the sync button to push changes to GitHub and pull down other's changes at the same time.

GitHub also notifies you when you have changes that need pushed or if there are new changes on GitHub that need to be pulled down.

GitHub is where PageLines stores our repository. So you will be able to add your repository to GitHub for Mac and it will automatically match them up with PageLines.

GitHub supports Mac (OSX) only. Download GitHub for free here.

SourceTree (OSX)

SourceTree displays all of your statuses and helps you manage your repositories. It's a very straight forward setup. You can create bookmarks and manage them through the Bookmark Window.

You can see what files have changed, what commits are pending and waiting to be pushed. You can also see any merges that are outstanding.

SourceTree works with Git and is perfectly compatible with your Pagelines Developer account.

SourceTree supports Mac (OSX) only. Download SourceTree for free here.

Tower (OSX)

Tower works right along with your favorite tools and repositories like TextMate and Github. With a "File History and Blame" view you can easily see when files were changed and by who.

The "Status View" shows you which files you modified, how you modified them, and which files are staged for the next commit.

You can add or open repositories in Tower via drag and drop. For a list of additional features and tutorials you can click here

Tower supports Mac (OSX) only. Download Tower free trial here.

TortoiseGit (Windows)

TortoiseGit for Windows can support you with your regular tasks such as committing, showing logs, comparing the differences between two versions, creating branches and tags, and creating patches.

TortoiseGit supports both 32-Bit and 64-Bit.

Download TortoiseGit here.

Text Editor

Text Editors are tools used to edit plain text. These programs are often installed by default on both Mac and Windows operating systems. Text Editors can be used to change configuration files and programming language source code.

TextMate (OSX)

TextMate is a text editor that is capable of managing a lot of files at once.

With TextMate you can use powerful snippets, macros, and it has a unique scoping system for file management.

TextMate has enough project management features to keep most users happy, but is otherwise kept lightweight with a clean and minimalistic GUI.

You can read more documentation and download a free trial of TextMate here

TextEdit (OSX)

TextEdit is a basic text editor that allows you to use the robust functions of rich text editing (RTF) as well as plain text.

TextEdit is installed with your Mac OSX operating system so if you are on a Mac you don't need to download it, just check in your Applications Folder.

You can get a good idea and overview of the functions of TextEdit on the Apple Support page Mac 101.

Notepad++ (Windows)

Notepad++ is a free source code editor and replacement for Notepad that supports several different languages.

Notepad++ is written in C++ and uses pure Win32 API and STL which decreases program size and increases a higher execution speed.

By optimizing as many routines as possible without losing usability Notepad++ gives you the functionality you need for coding.

Local Host

Local Host clients allow you to set up scripts and libraries on your own computer. With a few clicks these applications make it possible to run a server from your own machine and test scripts locally.

MAMP (OSX)

The abbreviation "MAMP" stands for: Macintosh, Apache, Mysql and PHP. With just a few mouse-clicks, you can install Apache, PHP and MySQL for Mac OS X.

MAMP installs a local server environment in a matter of seconds on your Mac. Like similar packages from the Windows- and Linux-world, MAMP comes free of charge.

MAMP is installed with ease just like any other Mac installation. MAMP will not compromise any existing Apache installation already running with your OS X. You can install Apache, PHP and MySQL without starting a script or having to change any configuration files. To view a list of libraries included click here.
