Real-time line awareness for team collaboration. See which lines your teammates are editing on the same Git branch—only metadata is shared, never file contents.
Quick Start
You don't need to do anything. It sets rooms up automatically with your teammates based on your github repository.
Install the extension from the VS Code marketplace
Open a Git repository in VS Code
The extension will automatically connect to the Synq server
Start editing & your teammates on the same branch will see your activity
Features
Real-time collaboration: See what your teammates are editing in real-time
Branch-scoped: Only see edits from teammates on the same Git branch
Privacy-focused: Only metadata is shared (file paths, line numbers), never file contents
Auto-connect: Automatically connects when you open a workspace
GitHub integration: Auto-detects your GitHub username and repository information
How It Works
Synq creates isolated "rooms" based on your repository and branch. Only teammates working on the same branch will see each other's editing activity. The extension sends lightweight metadata about your edits:
File path
Line numbers being edited
Edit type (insert, replace, delete)
Timestamp
No file contents are ever transmitted—only metadata about where you're editing.
Privacy & Security
Only metadata is shared (file paths, line ranges, timestamps)
File contents are never transmitted
Branch isolation ensures you only see relevant teammates
