960gs Textmate bundle

Posted by Fred Oliveira on May 8, 2010 | Comments (7)

I spend quite a chunk of my time writing html and css. Lately I’ve been using 960 grid system as my go-to “framework” for designing grid-based layouts. While that saves me quite a bit of time that I used to spend writing CSS code to float elements around, there’s always ways to shave off a few minutes (or hours) of code writing. If you’re on a Mac and use Textmate to write your code, you may be interested in using the Textmate Bundle I just added to Github.

The video below shows a few examples of the functionality the bundle provides. In short, it lets you write grid-based layouts with just a handful of keystrokes. The video takes about two minutes.

Instructions for installing the bundle as well as a bit of documentation are both available on the project page at GitHub. Feel free to contribute by forking the project and sending me a pull request. If you don’t know how to use git, give me a couple more days to start providing versioned zip files you can download and double click to install. Time to crank a bit more code – have a great weekend!

Useful. Thanks for sharing, Fred!
It if ever think on developing it further things like, for example, c16:section for generating would be great!
Cheers!

Bummer. Forgot to convert < > to entities.

I meant c16:section for doing something like <section class="container_16" id="">.

Thank you, Fred! Love and use 960gs as well… =D

installed and all seemed to work well.
i see the Snipttes in Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles/

but, i have not been able to make them work ? Restarted and reloaded the bundles. Any idea what is missing?

Just got them to work, for some reason I had to double click what had been downloaded from GitHub.

;-)

thanks!

Exactly what I needed. good work!

Where can we get the versioned zip files to install the bundles.
:-(
