- Install Atom with the following add-on packages
- git-clone
- git-control (maybe. SourceTree is better)
- Install SourceTree
- Open a command prompt and run
npm install -g serve
Getting Started
- Find a Gist you like. If you don't already have one, try this simple bar chart example.
- Fork the Gist and copy the HTTPS clone URL to your clipboard:
- In Atom, open the Command Palette with Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P, or by using the View menu:
- Type the word "clone" and select the Git Clone entry from the menu that appears:
- In the resulting input, paste in the URL you copied in step 2
You now have a copy of the Gist on your computer! Atom will open the directory that the files were saved to, and you are ready to work!
