Add in instructions for using universal-ctags

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Exhuberant-ctags hasn't been maintained in a while, the maintained version is known as universal-ctags. Here's a snippet from the github page https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags

universal-ctags has the objective of continuing the development from what existed in the Sourceforge area. Github exuberant-ctags repository was started by Reza Jelveh and was later moved to the universal-ctags organization.

I currently have ggtags working with gnu global 6.6.2, universal-ctags, and GNU Emacs 25.3.2. I wrote up the exact steps that I did in on my .emacs.d readme https://github.com/jonnycyr/.emacs.d.

If you'd like I can submit a pull request modifying the read me with the instructions I've created.

I am glad to see there is new development in the form of universal ctags. I think we should update the README to prefer https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags. Would you like to submit a PR? Thanks.

Will do!
