Hi,
I have an old theme that I’d like to change a few things on; pages for tags, css, a few bugs that have cropped up since v1.x of Ghost.
What software is good for making and amending themes? What do you use/recommend for an intermediate user?
Thx.
Personally, I use a big IDE for developing Ghost, but when I want to edit a theme, I use brackets:
Thanks. I have brackets and have used it in the past, but not for hbs files.
Is there documentation on how to preview hbs files, or an extension that you recommend?
There’s also this:
Download - Sublime Text with a handlebars option here: GitHub - nrw/sublime-text-handlebars: A more legible Handlebars package for Sublime Text 2
(if you’re a MacOS user).
There are also other options (i.e. Atom - Sunsetting Atom | The GitHub Blog):
The 5 Most Popular Code Editors for 2018 - DZone
OK. So handlebars extensions for highlighting will be useful but how do I preview hbs files? Is it a matter of precompiling, if so how?
And yes, I’m using MacOS.
When you say, “preview hbs files,” do you mean preview the changes you’re making to the theme in the browser? Or something else? You can always setup a local install of Ghost to preview your theme changes before uploading to your production site.
Perfect! Thanks.
Big fan of VS Code.
I used Atom and Brackets but I always go back to VS Code 
VS Code or Sublime
