Unfortunately github does not have an official client for Linux . Therefore I want to know if there is a way to integrate github to atom (Their text editor) and manage the github repos directly through atom. Is there a plugin or is it already integrated?? I'm new to atom (and github) so please explain completely!

There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

    
Perhaps this documentation page will be helpful: atom.io/docs/v0.194.0/using-atom-version-control-in-atom – dhag Apr 30 '15 at 17:35
    
There is a more recent blog entry, if you prefer blog.atom.io/2014/03/13/git-integration.html – A Null Pointer Oct 27 '15 at 0:30

There are official packages with Git support, but nothing that would specifically bind your editor to GitHub's services.

If you'd like to be up-to-date, querying Atom packages will give you readily available access to current Git and GitHub integrations: https://atom.io/packages/search?q=git and https://atom.io/packages/search?q=github respectively.

If you feel like there's something missing, then you can think about developing your own plugin and sharing it with the community. These resources might be helpful:
