Baboon project is in active development. Any contributions are welcome. Fork the project !
Do you waste your time in resolving merge conflicts with your favorite source code manager ? Do you want to get rid of "Merge Hells" ?
Baboon is the solution for you ! It's a lightweight daemon that detects merge conflicts before they actually happen. In fact, it detects them in real time.
$ baboon start
[synapse-agent 13:37:33] startup initialization...
[synapse-agent 13:37:36] ready
[synapse-agent 13:39:19] No conflict detected with seyz and raphdg.
[synapse-agent 13:40:13] Conflict detected with seyz and raphdg.
> error: patch failed: synapse/config.py:23
> error: patch failed: synapse/resources/resources.py:89
[synapse-agent 13:44:54] No conflict detected with seyz and raphdg.
As soon as Baboon is installed and configured (a matter of seconds, honest, a minute top) on your project's contributors computers, it starts its job.
Baboon syncs in real time your files (well, everytime you save one) with the ones of your co-workers on a central server and simulates a merge of the files.
If a conflict is detected, every contributor receives an alert to warn them that eventually, a conflict will occur (Baboon even tells you on which file it will happen).
Time to blame the culprit ! (Yeah, Baboon also tells you who originated the conflict)
He's lucky anyway. At this point, the merge conflict is super easy to solve, it's small. Remember, you're warned in real time.
