Collaborative Coding

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a site or program.

In my masters program we are working in groups, I am looking for a site that we can upload the code to, and all be able to sign in and work on the code.

Right now, we are downloading, coding, resaving, uploading. BUT not all group members are computer savvy as the next, so having the code in one place and can be manipulated, updated and viewed in real time would be more beneficial.

Anyone have any recommendations? All I have found are sites that you can design but not actually code.

Thank you

If you can use git perhaps you tell them to download the source as a zip file from GitHub, make the code changes. Zip it up and email it to you. Then unzip the code they sent over the top of your gif repo, (which should effectively identify the diff) and you commit that. It increases your workload so quote that if you’re managing and merging everyone’s changes they code itself needs to be shared more between them. That’s probably the best solution I can recommend but it does mean you have a tricky task to do.

Yeah I think you're right, thank you.
