After installing Baboon, each developer has a baboon on top of the shoulder. After each file save, Baboon shouts to other baboons the changes of the file. The other Baboons try to apply the changes to their sides and reply if a conflict is detected.

Baboon never changes your code. He just shouts !

Baboon wants to run on all common platforms (Linux, OSX, Windows).

For now, no install package is provided. The packages will be available for the 0.1 version.

You need a virtualenv to avoid polluting your system python installation. I use the virtualenvwrapper tool.

$ pip install virtualenvwrapper

For the documentation of virtualenvwrapper, take a look here (including the installation process).

$ mkvirtualenv baboon

$ workon baboon

$ pip install -r requirements.txt
