In this tutorial I will explain step by step how to contribute to an existing project using only Cloud Technologies. I am using Cloud 9, GitHub, phpcloud. In my YouTube channel I have videos showing the procces with different Cloud IDEs (codenvy = Exo IDE and Cloud 9). I like Exo IDE because you can generate many SSH keys for different domains and also you can upload an existing private key. With Cloud 9 you can have only 1 RSA key pair. You can not download the private key and use it with other IDEs. You also can not upload an existing private key. You can not even generate another key pair. I hope this will change in the future. I have to admit Cloud 9 tries to make the things easier. But you have a full terminal window which is a huge advantage! The related to this blog post video you can find in YouTube.
