Open Terminal tabs in Atom. Fork of Term package

Atom Term 2

You can run shell sessions within Atom Editor using Term 2 package. You can run Vim, Emacs, Htop, etc. in your Atom. It's based on pty.js as shell spawner, and term.js as xterm, with the power of Atom Package environment.

It's a fork and rebuilt version of "Term" package.

What about this fork ?!

My fork just adds a 'ShellOverride' configuration option which allows to override the shell Term2 is using (your default shell).

If, like me, your default shell is zsh you see that it's not yet fully compatible with Term2 (scrolling do not work): setting ShellOverride to i.e. 'bash' let you use Term2 with another (working) shell without messing up with your default shell configuration. Thats all :)

To install Term2 easily into your Atom;

apm install term2
