I normally use Vim to edit Puppet modules and manifests codes. However, recently I just found out about Atom editor, and quite like it. Out of the box, Atom supports many programming languages by providing syntax highlight. There are hundreds of Packages available which provide more functionalities such as make Atom to behave like a Vi editor, support Puppet codes, etc.

By default puppet-lint (provided by linter-puppet package), will complain about the use of class inheriting because this feature is not compatible with Puppet 2.6.2 and earlier. However, in my case I’m using Puppet 3.8.1, and I really like class inheriting.
To disable that puppet-lint warning, you can just pass this option to the puppet-lint command line:
Well, I’m not using puppet-lint directly, and puppet-lint is called by the Atom editor. Here’s how it can be disabled:
Edit ~/.atom/config.cson:
