Is it possible to edit the file and transfer github / bitbucket from the browser

Question

I want to use the editor in a browser and save to github without a server. Just like a text editor in github / bitbucket can a new file and save it

I want to know if there is a REST API of these 2 services to easily commit a file like this

Or a git library in js that can work without having to extract all the files to our machine

edit:

After 2018, both services are already exposing their APIs. This question is out of date

Answer 1

If you are looking for an online code editor that you can connect to github or bitbucket, you can look at them:

• Codeanywhere
• Cloud9

If you want to develop such an editor yourself, you can simply start with the REST API documentation from github or bitbucket:

• Github
• Bitbucket

And just select the javascript REST library of your choice to interact with these APIs.

For Github: you can use content resources to create / update / delete files.

For example, this section explains how to update a file .

Answer 2

Bitbucket user is here, you can CHANGE / CREATE your files in the browser.
