What Remote Collab is
Remote Collab is a free, open-source plugin for SublimeText that lets multiple developers work on the same project in real time. One person hosts a session from the file the group wants to edit, and a colleague joins in SublimeText using the “Remote: Connect to Session” command and entering the host’s IP address. The host needs to share that address with the colleague. The plugin can be installed through Sublime Package Control or manually from a ZIP or TAR.GZ archive. It is made for SublimeText and lists Linux, macOS, and Windows as platforms. The project’s GitHub repository lists an MIT license, and TeamRemote maintains the project. TeamRemote identifies four members and says they are students at Allegheny College. The listed plan costs nothing.
