What is ShiftEdit?
ShiftEdit is a sophisticated Chrome extension that functions as an online Integrated Development Environment (IDE). It supports web development processes using programming languages such as PHP, Ruby, Java, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It has the capability to connect to various servers via FTP, SFTP, Dropbox, Google Drive and WebDav. Boasting of time-saving features like autocomplete, code folding, snippets, and bracket closing, ShiftEdit also facilitates real-time collaboration. It comes equipped with a built-in Git client, a Terminal, and the ability for deployment of servers. It can be used conveniently on any device including desktops, tablets, mobiles, and Chromebooks.
