GHEdit

GHEdit is a fast, rich, open source code editor that runs great in web browsers. It's directly integrated with GitHub so you can work on your projects without installing anything.

Try it!

GHEdit is derived from Microsoft's Visual Studio Code. We developed it to learn about web-based development environments and think it is useful enough to share.
