I'm currently coding on a chromebook, using AWS Cloud9.

Chromebooks are criminally underpowered and even with sideloading linux, doesn't have the processing power to do any real coding.

AWS Cloud9 provides a cloud-based IDE so you can code directly in the browser. (Like I am doing right now.)

Let's get started:

1. Log into your AWS Account and follow these instructions to setting up Cloud9
2. To pull your private repo, you need to get the SSH key of your cloud9 instance.
3. In the Cloud9 terminal --> ssh-keygen -t rsa
4. Stick with defaults.
5. When it's finished, it'll tell you where it was saved.

For example:

Your identification has been saved in /home/ec2-user/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /home/ec2-user/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.

6. Visit that directory (for me it was /home/ec2-user/.ssh)
7. Type cat id_rsa.pub to get the public key.
8. Visit your github or bitbucket profile and add it to the keys.
