The Tools.
Now, this is important. Editing text is just part of what Nova does.
We've bundled in extremely useful tools to help you get your work done quickly and efficiently. They're all fast and native too, of course.
The New Tab button doesn't just open a fresh document. although it does that, too.
Click it to quickly access a feature-packed Transmit file browser, or a super-convenient Prompt terminal, all right inside Nova.
Meanwhile, Nova's sidebar is packed with power.
What makes Mac such a great development platform is probably all the amazing OS X developer tools it supports. Having a proper set of tools is of crucial importance to any programmer, as it allows building all sorts of powerful apps for users to stay productive and entertained on iPhones, iPads, Apple TVs or Macs. Apple’s Xcode development system is superb for developing applications, but sometimes you just want to write C or C code for research or school. Composing with vi is no longer acceptable, so.
The sidebar can also be split to show multiple tools at once, on the left and/or right side of your editor. And you can drag your favorite tools into the sidebar dock at the top for one-click access.
Nova also has Git source control tools built-in. Clone. Click-to-clone. Initialize a repo. Fetch and pull. Stage and unstage. Commit. Push. You know the drill. (We don't have built-in diff yet, but it's on our list!)
Apps For Mac
Git status is available both in the editor and the sidebar. And a useful 'Show Last Change for Line' pop-up explains commits.
