EmacsWiki: Category Project (original) (raw)

Project management in Emacs. Managing groups of files together, especially code.

Full Project Management Libraries

These libraries (though they may be at varying stages of development) have the goal to be full project-management solutions. Each offers its own way of thinking about a project, or uses a project definition created by another piece of software.

It is probably not useful to use more than one of these at the same time, for the same project.

• CEDET
• eproject – assign files to projects, programatically
• a different library named eproject – Project workspaces for Emacs.
• EtaskMode
• Icicles - Support for Projects
• JavaDevelopmentEnvironment
• mk-project – Quickly switch between projects and perform operations on a per-project basis.
• project-buffer-mode.el
  • FsProject – plugin for ProjectBufferMode
  • IProject – interactive project plugin for ProjectBufferMode
  • SlnMode – SLN file plugin for ProjectBufferMode
• projectile
• Emacs-IDE
• project-persist.el – A minor mode to allow loading and saving of project settings.
• ProjmanMode – emphasis on the ability to switch between projects
• SimpleProjectManagment
• vps Projects as directory sets (by VagnJohansen).
• prosjekt – Project workspace for emacs. Associate command with projects; open and close hooks; project configuration with elisp.

Project Helpers or Simplified Project Libraries

These libraries address some aspect of project management without trying to be all-in-one solutions. You may find it helpful to use several of these at the same time, even in addition to the all-in-one solutions in the section above.

Searching

• FindFileInProject – file finder
• find-things-fast – leverage Git for faster searching
• fuzzy-find-in-project – file finder
• Gpicker – file finder
• Lisp:ifind-mode.el – file finder
• ProjectBufferOccur – Occur plugin for ProjectBufferMode
• rinari-find-file-in-project – file finder
• simp – file finder

Persistence

• GIT:desktop.el (included with Emacs) – session saver
• MinimalSessionSaver – session saver

Settings

• Profiles - Non-invasive user settings common to multiple projects.
• ProjectLocalVariables – settings which apply to multiple files

Navigation

• Bookmark+ – Tag files in different projects a la del.icio.us. Bookmark a set of files in arbitrary locations and jump to it in Dired. Save/restore Dired states (markings, expanded subdirs).
• EmacsCodeBrowser (ECB) – navigation tools built on CEDET
• Icicles - Support for Projects
• IdeSkel – Navigation framework

Templates

• ProjectWizard – create stub files when starting a project

Workspaces

• DeskTop
• e2wm
• EmacsLispScreen
• EmacsScreen
• perspective
• WorkgroupsForWindows
• workspaces.el

Utilities

These libraries have little to do with project management per se, but are handy when dealing with many files or buffers at once.

• MultiTerm
• DiredMode – Operate on files.
