If Workspaces linked to a GitHub Repository that would be cool! :)

This is more of a get people talking hope teamtreehouse hears post.

With workspaces offering quite a lot these days, by way of snapshots to get help with your code, preview, sass environments and much much more, I really think an awesome feature would be to link specific workspaces to a GitHub Repository.

Now obviously this wont be quite as easy as my question suggests but to learn, get advice, code, create, and even update all in one place seems like a pretty smooth operation because at the moment it seems like I need so many accounts and bookmarked websites im loosing track...

I just thought it would be nice to here some other peoples opinions on if they would use this feature should it be there and if not why ?

I feel like this would be a great idea, but then people could just create a ton of github repos with the tutorial workspaces.

Thats true Tate, without restriction it could be under appreciated and over used.

What do you think about having the ability to email the preview URL to your account email to so you can view quickly and easily on other devices ?

I don't really get what you mean by that.

To test your workspaces on tablets and phones, it would be easier if there was a button to send an email with the URL link direct to your email address :)

I tried this to add the workspace to a github repository and it works.

  1. Forked the workspace
  2. in the command line initialise a git repository
  3. Add credentials
  4. Add a remote
  5. Make commit
  6. Push to the repository

It's some work, but worth it
