    The Light At The End Of The Tunnel: Announcing the release of GsDevKit_home and tODE

GsDevKit_home


GsDevKit_home development kit for GemStone/S 64, provides a framework of Bash scripts and directory structure for
working with a collection of multiple stones.

$GS_HOME points to the root directory of a GsDevKit_home installation:
▸ bin/
▸ dev/
  ▸ clients/
  ▸ todeClient/
▸ etc/
▾ server/
  ▸ snapshots/
  ▸ stones/
▾ shared/
  ▸ downloads/
  ▸ repos/
▾ sys/
  ▸ bin/
  ▸ default/
  ▸ local/
  ▸ stones/ 


tODE, the Object (centric) Development Environment, is a development environment for GemStone/S 64 that features:


a Smalltalk powered command line interface, inspired by Bash
 

a hierarchical directory structure that functions as a virtual file system for navigation by the
tODE Shell console


 ▸ /_home@/        --> $GS_HOME
 ▸ /home@/
 ▸ /projects@/
 ▾ /sys/
   ▸ default@/      --> $Gs_HOME/sys/default
   ▸ local@/        --> $Gs_HOME/sys/local
   ▾ stone@/
      ▸ /home/      --> $GS_HOME/sys/stones/<stone-name>/home
      ▸ /projects/  --> $GS_HOME/sys/stones/<stone-name>/projects
   ▸ stones@/       --> $Gs_HOME/sys/stones
 ▾ /tmp/


a GUI that provides access to the classic Smalltalk tools like the class browser and debugger
 

built-in support for using git to manage Smalltalk code stored in FileTree repositories.
