It doesn't really matter, you're essentially just writing bash scripts. |

We have special syntax highlighting for vim and emacs, but anything that |
| 13 |
can handle bash code should work fine. We also use tabs for indentation |
| 14 |
(disgusting, I know), so your editor should know the difference between |
| 15 |
tabs and spaces. I've used app-editors/mousepad in a pinch. |

Repoman can catch a lot of minor syntax issues (like space indentation), |
| 18 |
and the output of `git diff` will show leading/trailing whitespace, so |
| 19 |
it isn't much of a problem. |
