Looking for a good README editor. With maybe git functionality, but not necessary
-
Like adding shields/badges/assets within automatically
-
managing a directory like structure by generating new MD files in a directory like folder structure.
Essentially an IDE like environment just for markdown file management and a WYSIWYG editing experience
You must log in or # to comment.
Cant you just use your favorite general purpose editor?
Even if not general purpose, I would think a markdown editor would suffice.
Don’t you mean a markdown editor?
Chances are, your favorite text editor can handle markdown well enough… unless you want WYSIWYG, in which case your text editor would still be good enough for the job and you would be wrong :-)
More accurately
what’s a good text editor
Literally whatever you want, dude.
I use Kate as it opens pretty quickly and I’ve gotten used to using it to make simple bash scripts
Emacs.
Apostrophe. It’s beautiful.
A lot of people seem to have misunderstood the question and are offering text editors. Apostrophe as actually looks like it fits the bill for a decent markdown editor, which is what OP seems to have been asking for
GNU Emacs of course. I am particularly fond of spacemacs, because I like vim keybindings. For git functionality we have the excellent magit package on our side, which makes Emacs also my favorite git interface.
VSCODE with markdown extensions
VS Code’s extension system makes it pretty easy to build your own code snippet extension. I use my own private extension to easily “generate” different types of markdown files (ie readme vs a troubleshooting guide) from my personalized snippets.
Also has an easy way to jump between different markdowns files using the symbols popup menu Ctrl+T
Any text editor that can edit markdown files with syntax highlighting? What kind of git functionality do you want? If you want to see the formatting in place as you edit, look for a WYSIWYG editor (Ghostwriter and Typora come to mind). I use Neovim and have lazygit opened in another terminal tab.
