I love Deckset-- using it is like having presentation creation superpowers. But since it's OSX-only, I've moved to GitPitch, which is cross-platform and has the added benefit of hosting the slides.

I had to use gitpitch for one presentation only, so correct me if I am wrong, but with gitpitch you cannot see the resulting slides before you push them to the repo, right?

We had more than 200 commits at the end of one day, 150 of them to solve minor layout problems... with a (feeled) round-trip-time of 10-20seconds, that became frustrating quite fast...

If you pay for GitPitch Pro, you see your slides right away via GitPitch Desktop. (Plus the support from David is unparalleled.)

you could squash those commits, but i agree it would be better not to have them.

can you commit with --amend instead to avoid creating new commits every time?

That wouldnt help, I am afraid: the web hook of gitpitch starts on push to the github repo, so you _really have_ to push your change...

right, good point. didn't think of that. you can push after --amend but gitpitch may not work with that.
