live-share

Precisely, I'm looking for collaborative editors. Thanks for the suggestion, I hadn't seen this one. Unfortunately, it seems that this plugin only shares the editor window and does not keep a local copy of the files. I was wishing for something that would let both sides run & compile the code during the editing session, without having to stop for git push. https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/live-share/issues/3524

The license of Live Share as appears among VScode plugins indeed says "You may use the software only with Microsoft Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code", but the license of the source code of the extension on Github is an MIT license: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/live-share/blob/master/LICE...

Thanks for bringing this up! We have a GitHub issue tracking this, and we'll make sure to re-prioritize this very soon (https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/live-share/issues/205).

I'd love to hear more about the Live Share issue you ran into, and make sure we're tracking it (https://github.com/microsoft/live-share).

PM for Live Share here! Our team has _loved_ working with the community on this product over the last year, and we're excited to reach this milestone, and get even broader feedback (https://github.com/microsoftdocs/live-share). Developer collaboration is something we're very passionate about, and so we're keen to continue learning how to make it even more enjoyable and efficient for everything from pair programming, interactive classrooms, team brown bags, onboarding/mentoring, code reviews, hack-a-thons, etc. Live Share is now available for both Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code (https://aka.ms/vsls-pack), including the ability to collaborate between them! So if you're using either one of those tools, and you get a chance to check out Live Share, please don't hesitate to share your thoughts and let us know how we can improve further.

One of the other use cases for this technology that I haven't seen people bring up yet is remote editing. Whether you want to edit in a VM, or your company uses devservers, or you want to modify files on a remote server, the previous options were limited to terminal based editors. VS Live Share should have the technology to enable that for VSCode/VS. Check out this issue. https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/live-share/issues/74

PM on the Live Share team here. In many cases, yes, all collaborating participants would likely be working together in the same file. However, when speaking with folks as part of developing Live Share, we found that there were equally as many cases where developers wanted the ability to take certain actions independently (e.g. look up the definition of a function that’s in another file), without needing to disrupt the other parties, and without losing the ability to re-synchronize their focus once they were done. With that in mind, our goal for Live Share is to support “opportunistic collaboration” between developers, that supports a broad spectrum of needs/workflows/personal preferences/etc. in a way that potentially feels more natural for folks as they are helping/teaching each other (e.g. sometimes I want to tell you what I’m thinking,
