c9 / docs.c9.io

The documentation. For Cloud9 IDE.

This is the source documentation for the Cloud9 IDE User Documentation.

The build system relies on the Panda-Docs Node.js module.

Creating a Build

First, check out this repository. Then, run

npm install

to grab all the required dependencies.

To create a development build, open your command prompt and type:

node build.js true

A development build differs in that it does not compress assets or add iframe headers and footers. To create a releasable build, just run the same command without any arguments:

node build.js

Deploy

The site https://docs.c9.io is deployed automatically whenever something is pushed to master.

I know there exists a rewriteURLs function that manages transition from http to https urls - but maybe it isn't always called.

Running path should be changed

I have to say that Cloud9 is awesome.
But when I want to run a rails app following the docs, I cannot visit my website. Just change the url from http://..c9.io to http://-c9-.c9.io, everything is OK.
I think the path should be changed.

Add docs on npm using 0.6/0.8

Zen mode video is old UI

Hi,

Hoping the team could help me out with the above. I'm a newbie struggling with nodejs tutorials.
I'm now into databases, and I need CouchDB. As the screenshot shows, I tried installing it without success (or so it seems; what am I missing?).

Mongodb docs page table broken

https://docs.c9.io/setting_up_mongodb.html

Add page on common issues causing apps to not work

One thing users should try is doing "curl localhost:8080" to see if that works and determine if it's a problem with their app or the proxy.

• Use curl to see if it's a proxy problem
• Ensure app is running on 0.0.0.0. (localhost and 127.x.x.x will not work).

Add movie for revisions

syslog support not mentioned

I couldn't find any mention of syslog support from the runtime environment.
It will be great to have a definite yes or no, documented somewhere. If it is a yes; is there a way to access it.

npm install url.git

how to npm github projects?

Vim-mode sometimes forgets how to do "o" and "O"

I'm working with two others on a private workspace, we are writing python code.

I own the workspace and they are both accepted as read + write. Me and a friend are on the same network, the third is not.

When it happens I can't seem to get it to stop moving one space up for "O" and one space down for "o", but only going into insert mode at the very top of the file.

Create page on how to set up xwindows with a headless display and vnc over http

Searching before page completes loading is broken

When I search for Debug before the page completes loading it sends me to https://docs.c9.io/?search=Debug

@gjtorikian

Is it possible to edit .bash_profile?

Just started using Cloud9 (enjoying it) and would like to add some aliases to my bash_profile to make using git a little easier. Is this possible with a free account? I can't find the file with the terminal or a howto in the documentation. Is this possible, and if so, how do I do it? Thanks.

Talk about git blame

Explain public workspaces

The Create a Workspace page doesn't mention much about public vs. private workspaces -- all it says is it either Public (open to anyone with the URL), or Private (only accessible to you and people you share it with).

From clicking the Share button, I see three checkboxes, and the ability to check/uncheck depends on the workspace type. This could be clarified so that users actually understand what level of granularity of control they have.

Console documentation still describes the non-Terminal console

By the way, now that the Console is replaced with the Terminal, how do we run IDE commands? Maybe they can be accessed through the browser's JavaScript console?

Promote Ace

The section should be called "The Code Editor"
[9/6/12 4:57:27 PM] Ruben Daniels: in IDE components

[9/6/12 4:57:56 PM] Ruben Daniels: the code editor page should just be about ace basics

Create namp style markdown for menus and keybindings

Something like...

[menu "File" "New" "Whatever"]

converts to

File > New > Whatever

same with

[keys Shift Alt K]

turns into a nice rendering of Shift + Alt + Key.

Should be trivial....right ?

Console screenshot is old
