Editing code on the iPad and deploying it to Heroku

Question

Does anybody know an ios ipad app that would allow me to edit a github hosted rails project and deploy it on Heroku?

The reason I'm asking is that I'm an independent Web developer and I like to go on vacation bringing only my iPad. But I want to make sure that if there's a quick bug fix that needs to be done, I can safely do it from my ipad.

Answer 1

I have been looking into various options, This is what I have found so far:

• Ipad Apps

Hopefully worqshop will reintroduce the plugin.

The developer of textastic is working on git support

• Cloud IDE's

Cloud9 is working on ipad support. I think others are as well.

• Continuos deployment

Add a "deploy on green" task to a CI server such as Jenkins.

• Use an ipad ssh client to ssh into a workstation or server and deploy from there.

Pro: future proof, not reliant on a 3rd party app that may drop support for a needed feature.

Con: requires a workstation or server

• Codeship integrates with github and heroku and can deploy to heroku.
