To the best of my knowledge (almost nothing, TBH) at least one of the
three, gollum, has an in-browser editor, too. Probably a good thing to
have, e.g. for smaller edits, corrections, etc.
For larger edits, I very much prefer using well-known tools such as
(ma)git, (e)diff. Esp. if multiple pages are involved and should be in
one commit.
