Title Multiple users on a code project?
Ref. No. QNX.000009917

Issue Is it possible to have many developers work on the same code at once?


Solution This is possible by using RCS or some other revision control system to prevent two people from editting the same source file at the same time. Just like text editors normally do not support multiple people working on the same C file at the same time, PhAB does not support multiple people working in the same application. The fact that the application is stored in multiple physical files is just an implementation detail.

Even though only one person is allowed to open an application in PhAB, other people can still work on the C files that belong to that application. Of course, one has to be careful when someone else is editing a file, one  should not edit the same file, not add new callbacks to that file in PhAB (actually, adding new callback is O.K. as long as not generating).
