Way to browse and edit files in github repos? #9

Open rberger opened 8 years ago

rberger commented 8 years ago

I see how to write a new file to a github repo, but how can I browse files from a github repo and then edit/update an existing file in a github repo?

Thanks!

Hi Robert,

The current 'workflow' would probably be to retain the master copy of the document in Google Docs. Then when you publish it to Github, if you are using the same file name, it will update/overwrite the existing version with a new commit. Essentially a simple authoring system for those people who prefer to use Google Docs as their main content editor.

Adding functionality to load/parse a current markdown document from Github into a Google doc for editing would certainly be a worthwhile feature if it was going to be useful for you & others....

Yours,

JD
