However, those tools don't provide for real-time updates, and if two programmers work on the same piece of code, they will need to reconcile their updates, which can be troublesome. <a href="http://gobby.0x539.de/trac/">Gobby</a> provides group editing capability, so two or more people can edit the same document at the same time, in a collaborative fashion, with every participant getting to see all edits at the same time.&lt;!--break--></p> <p>Gobby also allows you to try out &quot;pair programming,&quot; in which two programmers share the same monitor and keyboard, alternatively working on code.
