Developing Oolite
Overview
This page intends to allow you to setup an environment to develop Oolite.
Versioning
When developing software, each little modification is tracked independently and assigned a version identifier. That's called versioning. To do this, we use the git software.
The Oolite code is hosted on a git-friendly repository: github.
Creating a GitHub account
Go to https://github.com/ and create an account.
Creating a branch on GitHub
Fork the oolite main branch.

Do as you wish :-)
I use vim + youcompleteme.
There's no IDE on linux managing objective-c. Auto-completion doesn't work in most of them because the xCode libraries aren't available (they're on OS X).
The only plugin for objective-c on eclipse is discontinued.
