Pretty much this. I’m building a WYSIWYG note taking app that syncs with GitHub, sort of like Prose.io but more focused on the note taking than CMS part (although the option of publishing notes would combine these two). I think there’s two benefits of isomorphic git for this use case. 1. It’s more api agnostic: if I wanted to support Gitlab, I wouldn’t have to write substantially more code tailored specifically for Gitlab’s API because it speaks git. You would only have to switch out Github's auth for Gitlab's auth. I also found that add multiple files and versioning them with Github’s API is a pain; they’re remaking a client called Octokit but it’s pretty underdeveloped right now. 2. Offline version control: you shouldn’t have to be online to take notes. With isomorphic git I can add and commit, and then push back to GitHub later when I have Internet. Fun fact: to get git to work on the browser, the author of isomorphic-git wrote a library to port NodeFS commands backed by IndexedDb. This means you can also have offline image drag-and-drop. There are some minor issues with isomorphic-git when I checked a month ago. - Largest one is only fast-forward merges are supported; not sure how to get around this one besides cloning the remote Github branch and maybe manually merging files. - Another one is a bug with git init followed by git add remote and git pull which leads to a reference error because no local commit has been made yet; you can imagine a user who immediately logs in with Github so you want to sync with a pre-existing repo.
