This is a tool meant to help people collaborate on code more seamlessly by integrating some core programming tasks into a single web IDE. It also encourages collaborator awareness without generating onerous distractions, and can serve as a bridge for people learning to use version control.
- project-wide synchronous editing (updates in real time)
- testing, both with PythonTutor and our website renderer
- robust GitHub interface (push, pull, checkout, fork, branch)
First:
git clone https://github.com/jeremywrnr/codepilot.git
You will need to register an application key with github in order to login with
their OAuth system - more information on how you can do that here. On
a related note, there is the github developer program, which I think
you (may?) need to join if you want to register an app - this is free. The
application will look for deployment keys in the app/private folder, in
production.json and development.json, respectively. This is what the insides of
those files should resemble:
{
"service": "github",
"clientId": "YOUR-CLIENT-ID",
"secret": "YOUR-SECRET-ID"
}
Once this is setup, simply start running it locally:
meteor
Toasts: https://atmospherejs.com/chrismbeckett/toastr
This application is currently deployed on Heroku, with the following buildpack
set up to decrypt the secret key information in private/. The ROOT_URL
variable has to be set to where you are hosting it, beforehand. Then,
horse-buildpack is used to install meteor and start up the server.

This project started out as work done for my master's thesis, which can be found here.
