Programming in pairs remotely

0

My partner and I really enjoy programming in pairs from time to time, usually when we have some complex function. But we live in different cities and sometimes it is difficult to get together to schedule.

We are currently developing an Android application with the official IDE (Android Studio) configured with the Github version control.

Lately we are using the Skype screen transmission to do the pair programming. It's cool, but we wanted something similar to what Google docs does, that is, concurrent edits.

Is there any tool or functionality in Android Studio or Git that does this?

Recently Microsoft announced a real-time collaboration tool: Visual Studio Live Share.

What's interesting about it:

  • Can be used in Visual Studio or Code
  • Use the tooling of the machine that makes the session sharing, that is, you will see the contents of the variables of the calling machine!
  • You can view and edit the code in real time to help someone!

That's pair programming in a way never seen!

At the moment of this response the tool is in limited preview. You can ask to participate in this link: link , click the "Sign up for early access" button

If you know someone who has access, you can install the tool at link and ask that person to call you a session.
