Cloud storage is an effective solution for artists sharing files, such as textures and meshes, across computers. However, for programmers and developers, the situation is different. Programmers work collaboratively with code and script files, and this creates some important needs that are substantially different or acute:
- First, coders frequently work together on the same source code. This may involve collaborating on different functions or areas of the same project, and also collaborating on code in the same file. Consequently, they need an easy way to identify lines that have changed between edits, who made the changes, when, and why.
- Second, coding often requires developers to explore and experiment with different solutions and techniques. The aim is to reach decisions about which solution is best. This means that coders need an easy way to reverse...
