GitHub - README.md Windows editor?

Question

I have lots of libs on GitHub and would like to write README.md for all of them. Im doing this by writing into README.md on my local repo, and then pushing it to github, and there I can see changes.

Is there any other way of doing this? Is there some Windows editor so I can write README.md and all the tags on local PC and see who would README.md output look like?

Thanks!

Answer 1

I prefer MarkdownPad. It provides you with a nice preview window on side of the actual markdown code:

Note that if you want to make it compliant with Github's own markdown syntax, you need to additionally install markdownpad-github.

Edit: MarkdownPad 2 Pro has announced support for Github flavored markdown: http://markdownpad.com/news/2013/introducing-markdownpad-2/

Answer 2

I'm late to the party, but VS Code has a pretty nice built-in markdown editor and live preview. You can just snap the preview tab on the right (or left if you're that kind of person) to see your changes as you make them.
