Code Awareness

Universal Context Platform.

Code Awarenesss provides context for your work, in any application that supports a plugin, add-on, or extension system. With Code Awareness you can be aware of different levels of context, such as people working on your project, relationships between different parts, documents and chat messages relevant to the specific part you have on the screen, and more.

• Support for quick branch diffs on the active file. Click on any branch to see the code diffs between that branch and your current file content.
• Swarm Authorization: you don't need to give us read access to your code base. Only file diffs are passing through our servers. More details on our website.

Requirements

1. Download and install the Code Awareness Muninn application. This is the application that shows you contextual information for the work you're doing in other applications.

Release Notes

Code Awareness allows you to see your peer's changes (diffs). When editing a file, you will see navy blue code highlights and also blue markers next to the scrollbar (the gutter indicators). These are the lines of code where other people have made changes to the file, locally in their own branch, or perhaps in the same branch. This is especially useful for a form of Trunk Based Development. When you open the Code Awareness panel (click on Code Awareness in the status bar), you'll be able to see the people who have made those changes. Click on their portrait to see the diffs between you and them. You can also click on any local branch (shown in the panel) to see the diffs between your file and the same file in that branch.
