Ask HN: Git GUI and Text Editor for Non-Programmers?

3 points by FinnLeSueur 5 years ago · 1 comment · 1 min read


Let me explain: I have a website (https://github.com/finnito/Science) which is a Hugo website and thus mostly Markdown. I use this website to create all my secondary school Science teaching resources.

I am considering trying to find a co-worker or two to work on it with me as to flesh it out and get better material, but here is the catch: Science teachers aren't programmers and don't want to spend time learning the CLI, the intricacies of git or anything; they generally just want to update a file and at most leave a little commit message.

I have spent quite a while making sure the deploy pipeline is quite reliable and am fine with people committing to master etc.

I am looking for a way to best get people set up editing files and contributing without much trouble. Do you have any thoughts or recommendations?

gitbook is what you are looking for. if you dont mind hosting it on a subdomain. You could also use a headless cms like strapi or graphcms or contentful where teachers add content and you can deploy it wherever statically
