Hop Tools

Even though Hop developers will spend the majority of their time in Hop Gui, Hop has a lot more tools to offer.

This page provides an overview of the tools that are available in the platform.

Each tool is a command of the hop launcher, for example hop run. hop arrow, hop doc, hop lint and hop python come with optional plugins: they are only there once the plugin is installed from the marketplace.
