You can use code server to collaborate with other developers in real time.

Code sharing using Duckly

Duckly allows you to share your code in real-time even with people using different IDEs (like JetBrains and VSCode).

• Cross-IDE support,
• Real-time typing,
• P2P encrypted,
• Voice and audio chat,
• Terminal sharing

Installing the Duckly Extension

Duckly uses an extension to provide real time sharing features

1. Install the Duckly extension from OpenVSX on code-server.

SERVICE_URL=https://open-vsx.org/vscode/gallery \
  ITEM_URL=https://open-vsx.org/vscode/item \
  code-server --install-extension gitduck.code-streaming

2. Refresh you code-server window. You should now be able to see the Duckly extension.

Sharing with Duckly

As code-server is based on VScode, you can follow the steps described on Duckly's Pair programming with VS Code page and skip the installation step.
