Use it to create, edit, and delete files, and save your changes directly to GitHub. Host your website on GitHub Pages for free, or set up your own GitHub webhook server.

The oauth.json file is usually .gitignored since OAuth to GitHub is used for general prose.io installations. For BowTie, it's been added to the repository and configures this modified version of Prose to use the BowTie API.

1. Drop this folder into your Project Site (/admin is a good choice).
2. Check that .bowtie.yml file exists and prevents access without a key on the current user's browser profile.
3. Navigate to your project site's /users/sign_up path. Register a user that you'd like to act as the site's administrative editor.
4. Open your browser's javascript console and run bowtie.user.profile({ key: "ENVIRONMENT_SECRET_KEY" }), replacing "ENVIRONMENT_SECRET_KEY" with the value from the environment settings on the BowTie dashboard (Settings->General->Keys->Secret Key).
5. Navigate to /admin on your Project Site. Prose will read the secret key from this user's profile and use it to authenticate with the Repository API.

Prose supports configuration settings with a variety of options, which makes it easy to adjust the application to support your project needs. Read the Getting Started Guide to learn more.

Prose is hosted at Prose.io, or you can use on your own server. For installation instructions and contributing guidelines, please read contributing.md.
