I love GitHub also but I haven't been using it enough. I just recently started using it again.
What I really like about it is I can write from the command prompt using Joe (my editor of choice), make a commit and push it to GitHub for backup. I don't have to open a thousand apps. I don't even have to use my mouse.
For distraction free writing you can't beat the command prompt and adding git to this makes for a smooth and complete workflow.
Write/Edit --> Ctrl K+X to save in Joe --> git add . --> git commit -m "stuff" --> git push origin master --> exit
It just doesn't get any smoother.
The icing on the cake is I can now access the file from anywhere thanks to github.
Thanks for the post.
Keep Steeming!
Interesting. I'm a command line user myself. I like nice colorful Vim scripts for editing, so I will look into your suggestion!
Thanks.
Yeah, i never got into vim. My first shell account there were two editors, pico and joe. I chose joe and I've been using it ever since.
I don't get all crazy about it though like the emacs nerds. Those guys are fanatics. lol.
lol. Yup. We all have to geek out about something.
