Useful tools for working in GSLab
Raw
useful.md

  • Sublime Text and packages (get Package Control and use it to install these)

    • Alignment (auto align code)
    • Anaconda (Python IDE-like extension, autoformat PEP-8)
    • LaTeXTools
    • RBox (RStudio extension to Sublime Text, can push code from Sublime to RStudio)
    • SendCode (push code from Sublime to Julia, IPython)
    • Stata Enhanced (Stata IDE-like extension, autoformat code, push code from Sublime to Stata console)
    • Markdown Preview (view your Markdown before you push it to GitHub)
    • Themes

  • RStudio for development on R (and dark theme!), JupyterLab for Python development.

  • An email client that has both your Stanford inbox and personal email inbox. I use Spark, Adam uses Outlook.

  • Google Chrome extensions:

    • Refined Github (lots and lots of useful additions to GitHub)
    • Everhour Time Tracker (open a clock for Everhour)
    • Markdown Preview
    • uBlock Origin (adblock)

  • iterm2 instead of stock Terminal. Other useful iterm2/terminal tricks:

    • htop to monitor computer resources
    • iTerm color schemes
    • My own modified bash profile here. Very useful stuff: bash prompts with colors, auto Git branch commands, auto Git diff commands.
    • Include this command in your bash_profile on RCC/Sherlock, run it to auto refresh "squeue -u $USER" every 15 seconds
     alias myq='watch -n 15 squeue -u $USER'

  • GitHub Education. Free GitHub private repos, discounted AWS, Atom is nice if you don't like Sublime for some reason (you'd be wrong but it's fine), GitKraken Pro if you need it for some reason.

  • BetterTouchTool or Magnet for windows management. I don't think either of them is free, and there might be better windows management apps for Mac since I last checked in 2016.

  • Flux for working late (although Mac seems to have their own versions now)

  • Alfred if you don't like Finder.

  • GitKraken: Git GUI. It's not perfect but can be very useful during messy merges.

  • zoom.us for calls with Jesse
