I have a Github repository where I want to put ideas from Redditors into one big file. I want to be the only one who can edit the master file, but I do want the Redditors to create there own files and edit them inside of a subdirectory of the Github repository. How can I do this?

I currently work with Kedro (from quantum black https://kedro.readthedocs.io/en/stable/01_introduction/01_introduction.html) as a framework for deployment oriented framework to code collaboratively. It is a great framework to develop machine learning in a team.

I am looking for an R equivalent.

My main issue is that I have teams of data scientists that develop in R, but each team is developing in different formats.

I wanted to make them follow a common framework to develop deployment ready R code, easy to work on in 2 or 3-people teams.

Any suggestions are welcome

We are a small team (2 Developers, 1 Graphist) working on android studio projects and we are using GitLab. The Thing is we found that classic approach of adding feature by Branching & then Merge request not ideal for our circumstance. We tend to make changes on a daily basis and do it fast.

My colleague told me about a workflow which he had used in past, it's something like : you lock the part of code you want to work on, then no one can change it even if they don't know you have locked it and by the time they try to add/edit/delete something that is locked, they can't, and when you are finished, you can unlock it and now others can make changes.

1. Is there any other option rather than git, which you have a kind of source controller and there is no ( / rarely) need to prune on daily basis?
2. If git is the only way, Is there a fast workflow aside from Branch --> Add new feature --> merge?

I'm working on a data viz project with a team of four. We're using the same merged data sets and regularly make modifications to them (e.g. delete invalid data, make data names consistent, and otherwise clean the data). Does anyone know a good way we effectively can work together remotely using the same data source?

If the answer isn't Tableau, that's fine too. We're using it now, but are open to other tools.

Thank you for your help!

Is there a free way to use IntelliJ when pair-programming?

My question is similar to this question which is 10 years old with Remote Pair Programming in IntelliJ but I was hoping for a more updated answer since many links like screenhero on that question are now broken. I use special libraries that only exist in IntelliJ so using VSC Liveshare is out of the question and I have no where else to ask so please do not close this question for reputation points from closing a question, many people have this question and with COVID + transition to work online this is more important than ever.

SO has a perfect audience to see questions and answers like this one. Questions on the SO are not only about code itself but also SO should be a place for: "a specific programming problem" or "software tools commonly used by programmers" or "a practical, answerable problem that is unique to software development" In other words, I strongly disagree with closing questions like this, especially that these tools evolve. – Sławomir Lenart

I need to scrape content and sniff network activity from an asynchronous web page using R. The problem is that in my team we work both on Mac and Windows machines on a project directory shared via github.

This creates quite some problem in using external headless browsers via RSelenium (mac/windows path differences, different locations of executables, dynamic number of collaborators).

So an ideal solution would be to use some simple headless browser written directly in R and installed as a package, so that we don't have to take care of OS support, location, etc...

Does such a package exist?

I am trying to work on the same .py file as my friend. I am looking for the Google Docs of coding (being able to see each other's changes live). How can I do it? Is there a plugin for PyCharm or Sublime Text 3 (preferably Sublime)? Thanks

Hi I am trying to make an app on iOS with a few of my friends. None of us have any experience developing for iOS. I have three logistical questions:

1. What are common tools used to collaborate on iOS development? (i.e. how can we work together even though we are all remote at the moment)
2. What is a common way development teams break up app development?
3. Is it necessary for all team members to have macs or is there a workaround?

So I'm on a team of 2-3 developers who will be primarily working with Apps Script connected to Google Sheets.

I've looked into various tools/workflows but there seems to be no elegant way for two people to work on the same Apps Script file at the same time:

• If two people are both editing the same file on the online editor and save their changes, only one set of changes is carried over with the other being overwritten. This makes sense but I was hoping for a Google docs-like experience when multiple editors were working on the same file.
• Developing locally and version controlling with git is also not a great option as to iteratively make changes and test those changes requires it to be on the cloud (because of our Google Sheets dependency). You can not make changes locally and test to see the effect of those changes without doing a clasp push call each time and then running the code in the native Apps Script GUI on the cloud.
• I've read the Apps Script documentation pretty thoroughly (deployments, versionsing, collaboration, etc.) but nothing stands out as a elegant solution to this problem (seems to summarize "Use a shared Google Drive" and "Use git"...).

I'd be curious as to whether anyone has had experience working on a team environment with App Script and what workflows ended up being used. How do teams have 2+ people work on the same file while also allowing rapid iteration without the friction of needing to call clasp pull/push every iteration? Or is this unavoidable?
