Want to automatically check your code for errors? No problem, SublimeLinter got you covered.
Greetings folks,
In this blog post I will be demonstrating how you can automatically check your code for errors, using Sublime Text 3 and the SublimeLinter package.
What do you need?
- Sublime Text 3
- SublimeLint package
- language extension for SublimeLint (the code you want to check for errors)
In this example I'm using the SQF language to check for errors.
First press CTRL
+ SHIFT
+ P
to open up the Package Manager

Select Package Control:Add Repository
and add https://github.com/SublimeLinter/SublimeLinter as new repo.

Now select Package Control: Install
and search for SublimeLint

+ P
again to open up the Package Manager

That's it. Done!
