How do you collaborate with other coders in real time? [closed]

Answer 1

I use GNU Screen.

Answer 2

if the communication will be remote then. i prefer phone or skype in order to make things clearly, for sharing data if you want to easily share screen with a tool you might already have use Netmeeting. or you can try some software like interwise, gotomeeting, logmein. or even large emails are better than IM

Answer 3

Shouting if within distance.

IRC if not. Dedicated channel, problem solved. Logs easily.

Answer 4

You could VNC onto their machine and work on it there collaboratively.

Answer 5

For a general solution, you could try a VNC option (e.g. tightVNC). This will allow you to share the same desktop. There's ultraVNC for example that I think will let you share a window only.

A Windows specific solution might be NetMeeting (Start -> Run -> conf), where you can share a 'whiteboard' and I am pretty sure you can share a window as well, if you try.

Answer 6

Github has a good paste-sharing site called gist. You can very easily clone the gist to your desktop if you need to see diffs. No diffs online unfortunately... (That would be a really nice feature to have there!)
