What's your dev environment?

[crythias]

I'm rather agnostic to what I use to edit files, though when I'm in Windows, I'll either use gvim or Notepad++.

When I'm in Linux, I'll use vim.
I would recommend syntastic as a vim plugin to assist with general syntax testing of code.

I *strongly* recommend using git to maintain your code. commit all the time and you can back out at any point. Plus, it helps that you can sync changes between dev and prod.

backup often.

I use automysqlbackup for MySQL backups. Snapshots are not backups.

What do you use?

I develop under Linux using vi(m). To be faster and increase quality, I have written some tools like OTRS::OPM::Maker and OTRS::OPM::Maker::Command::sopm. To build/test the packages and deploy them in repositories for my customers, I use Jenkins. As a VCS I use git (on a private server), for free addons I use git on github.com (see http://github.com/reneeb ). To track what I have to do, I use http://www.trello.com.

For each project I create a virtual machine to have clean environments... and for my customers I setup a JiffyBox (http://jiffybox.de) using Rex (http://rexify.org).

For merging (mostly needed when I have to merge code when writing code for OTRS itself) I use meld.


Edit: My backup is git It's easier for me to build a new machine from scratch that to use a backup (less space on disk needed, I can switch between several machines easily, ...).

For development I use Sublime Text (Windows) and Vim (Linux)

Here We use SVN for version control, but we have plans to move to Git.
