Gitlive

London based GitLive is an instant messaging and code collaboration platform built specifically for developers to streamline technical discussions. Founded in 2019 by Nicholas Bransby-Williams to solve a fundamental problem facing distributed development teams: communication. Adding a real-time layer to the transactional nature of Git, GitLive allows teams to seamlessly discuss, review, share and even edit code together, live, from within their favourite code editor. Offsetting a developer’s nature to work in isolation, GitLive encourages communication through the Team View where teammates can see each other's work in progress and get notified of potential merge conflicts in real-time. The GitLive plugin is available for all major code editors including VSCode, IntelliJ, PHPStorm, PyCharm and Android Studio.
