Tether is a VS Code extension that allows you to share a project from VS Code and edit it live with your team. Live editing, comments, and file sync are all built-in, so you can focus on coding together without leaving your IDE.
Features
Live editing: see teammates' edits, cursors and selections as they type.
Team activity: Explorer badges and coloured markers show where each teammate is working.
Comments: discuss code on any line, @mention teammates and resolve threads.
File sync: text and binary files, including new files, renames and deletions.
Access control: invite Members to edit or Observers to view.
Sharing controls: review files before sharing and exclude paths with .tetherignore.
