irisjs-editor v1.0.1

Online IDE for code editing with git version control integration for IrisJS

Description

Free yourself from setting up development environments and installing/maintaining software. With this modules you can build complex Iris websites/webapps from any modern browser, regardless of device. This module allows authorised users to create/checkout git branches into a development area away from the live code. Coding changes can then be committed/merged/pushed to the git repository. Another tab then allows you to fetch/merge/checkout onto the live codebase. Iris cannot directly alter live files, everything is version-controlled. As Iris uses JSONForm's, JSONForm comes with ACE integration for natural code editing of JS/JSON, css, etc. JsTree provides easy navigation of file directories and shows which files have changes since the last commit.
