CodeTogether

Now with IDE-to-IDE support and simultaneous editing! Add CodeTogether to VS Code for pair programming from anywhere. Great for remote teams, even when using different IDEs. CodeTogether is available for VS Code, IntelliJ and Eclipse. You can host a collaborative session from any supported IDE, and participants can join from their preferred IDE or a browser.

Source is always end-to-end encrypted and on-premises hosting is optionally available.

Host-based intelligence ensures everyone gets the language smarts needed for capabilities such as content assist and validation, regardless of how they join the session.
