Demo: Edit from the Cloud9 Terminal

Since the dark ages when the green on black screens were the only interface to a machine, the terminal has been a coder’s best friend. This has been especially true with the advent of command line driven ecosystems like the Ruby and the Node.js communities. Cloud9 has had a terminal integrated almost since its inception because if your machine is in the cloud and your interface is the browser, you simply need to have a terminal available to reach the machine. Many of you commented that the integrated terminal is a novel and powerful way to develop software and frankly, I couldn’t live without it myself.
One thing that bothered me and many of our users has been the inability to open files from the terminal into Cloud9. This small , yet oh so powerful, feature makes it easy to open a file from right where you are, without the need to interact with the user interface. As a fallback, many of us use vim, joe, nano and so on to quickly edit something from the Cloud9 terminal. That’s ridiculous! A strange inception indeed.
Today we are announcing the c9 cli that solves this problem.
