I wanted something better than just pressing 'edit' on the page in Github. I googled and found several different options.
Top ones seem to be Gitpod , Prose , StackEdit and Atom editor.
Hello,
Someone I work with recently found that they could make edits to code in the github.com web browser. After many edits and a, "trust me," I found myself manually resolving merge conflicts (with the gracious help of someone else that had more experience with git).
The same person with more experience has told me that making edits like this is not the best way. Additionally, it makes rather short commit messages:
"Update <filename>"
with no message of what they are actually doing. It also spams the commit history.
What are your thoughts? If you think it is reckless, what would you suggest me telling them?
