I need a simple web based tool/CMS/app which could be linked to some repository hosting. It is something like Cloud9 IDE, but not for developers but for laymans.
When a user edits a file (say a .txt or a markdown file), it should be version the file with new commit on github ( or any other repository service )- same way as in Cloud9 IDE.
In simple word – it’s like Github for Mac ( or now Windows), but web based and for general users not strictly for developers.
If you just want to edit files and make a new commit everytime someone edits it, create a repository on GitHub. There’s an ‘Edit this file’ button on every file and it uses the Cloud9 Editor Ace. That’s the easiest thing you get, because it will auto-commit and auto-push every time you save.
Otherwise: what’s wrong with Cloud9? It’s not just for developers, everyone can use it. You just might have to create a cheat sheat for using git 🙂
