Cloud9 IDE vs Git: What are the differences?

  1. Hosting: Cloud9 IDE provides a cloud-based platform for developers to write and collaborate on code, while Git is a distributed version control system that allows developers to track changes to their code locally and remotely.

  2. Purpose: Cloud9 IDE is primarily used for writing and running code, while Git is used for version control and collaboration among developers working on the same codebase.

  3. Real-time Collaboration: Cloud9 IDE allows for real-time collaboration where multiple users can work on the same code simultaneously, while Git requires users to commit and push changes to a shared repository for collaboration.

  4. Integration: Cloud9 IDE integrates various development tools and services within its platform, while Git integrates with other tools and services through plugins and APIs to enhance its functionality.

  5. Deployment: Cloud9 IDE offers built-in features for deploying applications to various hosting services, while Git focuses on managing code changes and does not have direct deployment capabilities.

  6. Learning Curve: Cloud9 IDE can be easier for beginners to start writing code with its user-friendly interface, while Git may have a steeper learning curve due to its command-line interface and branching strategies.

In Summary, Cloud9 IDE is a cloud-based IDE for writing and collaborating on code, while Git is a version control system for managing code changes and collaboration among developers.
