Desired Feature:

Dependent on #776. This feature describes how Bookstack can be used as an editor for Markdown files stored in a remote Git repository.

Expected Behavior

Assuming a Book has been created using feature #776

The editor mode should (ideally) be Markdown, but feature #458 could also apply here. With Markdown Bookstack can define it's own content/file/directory structure on how the files should be organized. Something compatible to Read The Docs or Gitbook.

Creating a new page and saving it will create the file on local storage, perform a git add . and then a git commit using the current user's email address and name, then finally a git push. Editing an existing document follows a similar process. Chapters would correspond to sub directories.

To handle cases when more than one user edits a page in a given moment. I think Bookstack already solves this problem with the "Draft" feature. This should prevent conflicts.

Thanks for writing this up and requesting this but since this issue relies on a non-implemented feature I'm going to close this in the interest of keeping issues actionable and focused. This can always be re-opened if #776 ever becomes a feature.
