Is there any tool, similar to codepad, writing code in C language that I can share my code with a group and my group can make changes and simultaneous views in real time editing?

  • Hmmm. Use a Google Doc with Consolas font? :D – user703016 May 20 '12 at 21:41
  • uhm.... you'll have no idea who broke the code as people were editing simultaneously the same code. it's a bit hard to find a good use case for the tool you're asking for. – Karoly Horvath May 20 '12 at 21:45
  • I've tried ... But Google Docs has some problems such as weak indentation (or zero), has no highlight, finally, is a collaborative tool to program but is not there. – richardaum May 20 '12 at 21:45
  • I know the risks but I want a tool like this. It is a collaborative group, group people do not change randomly. – richardaum May 20 '12 at 21:46
  • yeah but some things like code refractoring spanning a couple of files will give you serious headaches.. I just tried to warn you, that's all ;) – Karoly Horvath May 20 '12 at 21:48

I can't tell you enough that this is going to make your work more difficult if you're planning on using this for anything other than something like a code review. However, it's called a real-time collaborative editor. There are a ton of them. I used one on linux a while back that I can't remember the name of, but in the mean-time, let wikipedia start you off...

Edit:

The tool I used on Linux that worked well was called Gobby.

There are a bunch of others in this question on SO Real time tool for collaborative coding

Sorry for resurrecting an old question but I thought I should share this.

I usually use Collab.Center (http://collab.center). Some features I like about it better than others are:

  • Online, real-time collaborative coding
  • Support for a lot of languages (40+, I think) (EX: C, C++, Java, HTML/CSS/JS, PHP, etc)
  • Text and Video (Webcam) chat (Requires Sign-In)
  • Syntax highlighting, auto-closing brackets, matching brackets, etc.
  • Ability to manage all your documents (Requires Sign-In)
  • Private documents (Requires Sign-In)

I think it would be great for you and your group, if you haven't already found an alternative.

    2 years later, this almost feels like spam. Not quite, but close. In the future, be careful about resurrecting old posts just to add info that feels like advertising. – Michael Dorgan Jul 09 '14 at 00:11
  • @MichaelDorgan Should I delete it? – whirish Jul 09 '14 at 00:16
  • I'll leave that to others to decide. I could have deleted it, but left it alone as it does add useful info. But I double checked your profile to see if you were spamming elsewhere due to the nature of this post. Again, I think it's ok, but not 'great' :) – Michael Dorgan Jul 09 '14 at 00:24
  • I am very glad that you added new content here. It will be very helpful for me and for anyone searching for this kind of tool (: – richardaum Jul 10 '14 at 12:37
