A Git tool for automated, real-time communication and transparency.
GitTogether is an Electron app that alleviates issues related to redundant or conflicting work in collaborative projects. Git itself creates and stores an enormous amount of data about project structure across files, branches, and repos. However, it doesn't make much of this information accessible to the team until users push their changes to a remote. Because of this structure, Git's potential to prevent issues from arising is underutilized, and it's only leveraged once something undesirable has already happened.
GitTogether hooks into these preexisting Git tools to make more effective use of available information. Local changes are broadcast in real-time to the team and to GitTogether's own server. This allows for both the just-in-time notification of team members when it seems that the project's health might be under threat, and the recording of these changes as persistent data which is made available for easy reference.
GitTogether can be left to run in the background, only making itself known when it observes a problem. Alternatively, it could be used as a regular reference to keep track of how a project is changing and developing over time. It intuitively and naturally integrates itself into your normal workflow, and automatically synchronizes itself with your Github account so as to require minimum oversight. We hope you enjoy it.
